How are pictures restored?

Restoration of paper goods can be costly, but the benefit far outweighs the financial commitment. The key to water damage restoration is extracting water at a rate propitious to each material. Removing water too quickly can cause further problems in some materials such as hardwood floors when buckling and warping can become a consequence of excessive moisture. Paper items such as photographs and electronics can sometimes be restored, though there are typically lingering evidence of the mishap. Our  SERVPRO team can explain the process. Most of our drying techniques focus on sublimation and evaporation. We can freeze documents and photos to arrest the degradation caused by the water. At our facility we can place these items in a pressurized chamber and transfer the frozen ice into a gaseous state, by-passing that pesky wet water phase.
