Water

The first course of action is to stop the continuing progression of damage. Water in a liquid state in contact with your documents hastens the permanent loss of your records. Once the water problems have been mitigated, other contaminants can be dealt with as a secondary situation.

• Water destabilizes the structural integrity of paper. Freeze drying remains the most effective solution to minimizing further damage.
• Time is of the essence. A quick and organized retrieval system is one of the most important actions to ensure an acceptable post-recovery item.

Fire & Soot

Once documents come into contact with fire/soot damage, they cease being usable in their present state. Labor intensive methodologies exist to remove soot damage...however, reproduction of documents may be necessary.

• Documents involved in a fire/soot incident will have ongoing odor and health ramifications.
• Ozone treatment remains an effective solution for deodorizing documents.
• Deodorization and fumigation treatments can be used to mitigate contamination.
