Document Drying Process
The recovery of any document using our vacuum-freeze drying chamber is the way that we have found to be the most successful. If you have sensitive documents that cannot be removed from your location, we have mobile vacuum-freeze drying chambers that can come to you.
When we set up desiccant drying chambers, we use machines. Documents being dried exclusively to get them ready to be shredded often put through desiccant drying chambers before being put through the shredding process.
Although the desiccant chambers are a more cost-effective option than vacuum freeze drying, they are not typically used to dry documents that need to be archived due to the poor quality of the final result.
Apex Water Restoration will collaborate with you and your insurance provider to ensure that everything is returned to a state where it can be used after it has been damaged by water.
Document Drying for Commercial Properties
Large commercial organizations such as hospitals, banks, law offices, libraries, schools, architectural firms, record storage companies, government agencies, and so on are some businesses we provide our services to. Professionals will be sent to your location to pack up all of your wet paperwork.
Document Cleaning
You may need to have your company’s records cleansed and disinfected if they have been harmed in any way, whether by a storm, fire, river flood, sewer backup, or any other event.
Call Apex Water Restoration, and we will fully clean and dry your documents. Documents are painstakingly cleaned and disinfected once the most appropriate cleaning process is selected, determined by the source. Apex Water Restoration will disinfect the papers to make them safe if they have been damaged by mildew, soot, or silt.
When dealing with documents ruined by sewer or mold damage, the best course of action is to disinfect, dry, and then photocopy the documents. The originals can be hermetically sealed, packaged, and put away until they are no longer required, while the new copies are completely safe to handle.
When dealing with documents that have been partially burned, the soot can be cleaned, and the burned portion of the paper can be trimmed off to produce a clean document that can still be used. In addition, the original documents may be sterilized by irradiation or treated with ozone to make them safe for handling.
Professional Document Drying
It may appear to be an easy solution. You believe, “I can document my drying process on my own.” There is something significant that you will not understand until it is too late. Your insurance company is well aware that you do not have professional training, so that they will make a severe and unfavorable adjustment to your claim.

DIY Document Drying
If you only need to recover a few pieces of paper, air drying may be an option. If you have fewer than 200 papers to dry, air drying is the best option.
Place the wet paper on a level surface, and allow it to dry as naturally as possible. Because drying paper can take several hours, select a surface on which the sheets can lie still for some time without being disturbed.
If you have a few pieces of damp paper lying about, you should put them in front of a fan so that they can dry out. It will assist in drying things out more rapidly.
If you have wet paper in a book or binder, you should put a piece of paper towel between approximately every ten pages so that the towel can absorb the water. After that, position the papers to face a gentle fan.
To remove some of the moisture from the paper, heat it in the microwave for about 15 seconds. After that, smooth the paper’s surface by pressing it down with something hard to remove any creases.
