How PureDry Restores Water, Fire, and Mold-Damaged Documents
Our document recovery services protect contents damaged by floods, fires, and mold growth. We use specialized methods for each type of damage, increasing the chances of a full recovery.
Water damage document restoration
Our drying methods rely on maintaining a low-humidity environment, freeze-drying certain documents, and using molecular sieve technology to remove water and chemicals with extraordinary precision.
Fire damage document restoration
As an IICRC-certified restoration company, we use advanced techniques to remove soot, smoke, and other contaminants from fire-damaged documents. These techniques include high-grade deodorization, specialized soot sponging, and ionized air rinsing, which targets residual smoke.
Mold damage document restoration
We attack mold with a series of high-tech restoration methods, including electron beam irradiation, which is highly effective for sterilizing and restoring damaged documents.
Tips on Caring for Damaged Documents Before Restoration
Damaged documents must be restored as soon as possible. Every second counts. While you wait for our team to arrive, we recommend following this list of dos and don’ts to increase the chances of a successful recovery.
What to Do
- Gather and sort documents: If you know which documents must be restored, we recommend collecting and sorting them to ensure a quicker transportation process.
- Take quick action: Once you notice your documents are in danger, keep them out of harm’s way—but only if it is safe. We do not recommend approaching fire or contaminated flood water.
- Understand the limits: Unfortunately, document restoration can only do so much. Some damage, such as running ink, is permanent and cannot be reversed.
What Not to Do
- Do not increase humidity: Excess moisture will only damage your documents further. Avoid taking actions that will increase indoor humidity or wet your documents.
- Do not place documents flat: Placing documents flat on a surface and stacking them could lead to mold growth and further damage.

EXCELLENT Based on 406 reviews Bad Dog2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife called into PureDry and was connected with Michaela (hopefully I spelled that correctly) - it was a great experience. We described our issue, and Michaela was able to navigate us through the process and get us set up with a Project Manager to visit our home. This is out of pocket for us, and we were told that we will receive a price on-site - we've had other contractors out which took days upon days to even get us a quote so this was a huge relief. We haven't gotten into the project side of things yet, but I wanted to show credit where credit is due, awesome customer experience. Looking forward to the rest of the project with PureDry! Urmila Kumari2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heath and Jake helped us with water leak restoration in our home. They were very punctual during their visits and ensured our walk is completely dry before starting the restoration work. They also took care of all the insurance-related formalities, allowing us to focus on our daily lives. Deep Sharma2024-08-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heath and Jake did a great job on my property restoration. They were quick to come over, diagnose the problems, and put mitigation in place. They ensured regular follow-ups to expedite the process. Their involvement made the process hands of the wheel for me. Jim Keller2024-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PureDry did a great job mitigating our water leak and then did an excellent job restoring the damaged areas. We also contracted with them to have additional painting done since the rooms were empty and the house now looks great. They did their work on time, stayed within the original quote, communicated well, and it all went well. Alice Isackson2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can't say enough about PureDry! When we had a major bathroom leak PureDry responded quickly. These guys were professional, knowledgeable and so nice. They handled our insurance claim effortlessly. I highly recommend Kelly, Eric, Johnny and Skylar, our team. Thanks PureDry! Victoria Braun2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Initially, I thought this whole water restoration bit was a scam… I had a leak in my kitchen drain pipe and had a plumber come out to fix it. Roto Rooter was the original company and had sent out a water restoration person from their company to assess the damage. He blew out or proportion, was super aggressive and made me uncomfortable so I didn’t really know what to do. I found Puredry through Google and looked at their reviews and so I gave them a call. From the initial phone call, I could tell they were way better than what I had experienced. Jake, Heath & Conner were great! I worked with them all at different stages. Conner came out and assessed the water damage, was realistic and helped me through the claim process. Once the team came out, Heath and Jake, they started restoration but felt the issue had dried up so there wasn’t a need to pull everything up etc and said they wouldn’t charge me. I really appreciated their help through this process as it’s been a stressful few weeks made better by their team…and I get my kitchen back way sooner than I thought! :) Cora Lawson2024-07-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matthew and Miguel did an amazing job in my basement. They were very professional and polite. They walked into quite a mess and seemed to know exactly what to do! Thank you so much!

Document Restoration FAQs
What types of documents can be restored?
We restore a wide variety of paper documents, including photographs, legal certificates, books, and medical records.
How is paper document and photo restoration performed?
Our document restoration team uses several types of preservation methods, but we most frequently use vacuum freeze drying. This method extracts moisture from your documents by freezing them and turning the frozen water into gas. The gas enters the air rather than remaining inside your documents.
For documents damaged by fire and mold, we employ other high-tech methods, such as ionized air rinsing and electron beam irradiation.
