Long Island Fire Damaged Data Recovery
We’ve worked with several fire investigation agencies over the years to recover data from crime scenes when an arsonist tries to cover their tracks. We’ve been able to recover laptops, servers, DVR systems and more. If your equipment has been involved in a fire related incident, call us immediately. All Fire damaged equipment will be inspected and opened in a class 100 white room at an off site facility to ensure maximum recoverability. If your equipment was involved in a fire related incident, do not try to power on equipment. This could damage our only chance at recovering your data.
Long Island Smoke Damaged Data Recovery
When there is a fire, other types of damage can occur as well, such as smoke and soot damage. You may not think that a little smoke and some ashes can effect your equipment, but it can. Ashes and soot from the fire can be very acidic and corrosive to your equipment which can result electrical shorts and other problems. We recommend that any equipment recovered from a fire be thoroughly checked for damage including the hard drive and the components within the physical drive such as the motors, platters, and head stacks.
How Does Fire & Smoke Damaged Data Recovery Work?
We use a combination of both software and hardware to recover your important fire and Smoke damaged data files. We offer the best Long Island fire and smoke damaged data recovery solutions with specific machines we’ve designed and engineered to handle more problematic situations where the physical hardware has not yet failed completely, but needs to be worked on very carefully to avoid problem areas with the damaged device. In such cases where the equipment has failed completely, we have a whiteroom where our data recovery engineers can open your equipment, analyze the damaged media, replace parts (if needed) to get the device communicating properly so we can recover your data. We have a high success rate for recovering your important data. In some cases we can even reconstruct damaged database files and various other types of files.

First, we take a look at your equipment to determine what’s going on with your equipment and determine if the Long Island Windows data recovery is mechanical or not. If there is a mechanical problem with your equipment, our data recovery specialists will stop and inform you before continuing with the recovery process.
The second stage during recovery is to properly identify the file(s) you are looking to retrieve from your damaged equipment. If your media has suffered physical damage, parts may need to be ordered and depending on the damage, the evaluation process may take longer than usual.
After we have been able to properly identify the file(s) you are looking for, next stage of the recovery is extracting the data from your damaged equipment. During the data extraction, we verify the file integrity to minimize corruption of your data.
Good News! Once we have safely transferred your recovered data to new equipment, we will notify you that your data is ready for pick-up, delivery, electronically, or shipment.
