Our Processes
Document SOS provides immediate Frost & Frozen storage capacity in several locations across the UK to prevent mould damage or ongoing deterioration from water damage. Isolation and freezing also prevents bacterial growth and cross contamination.
Non-toxic aqueous treatments are used to decontaminate all forms of paper documentation following water damage.
Drying and restoring large volumes of damaged personal artefacts and business records, SOS’ Dryfast Chamber can dry up to 70-80 crates per week. This is much quicker than freeze vacuum drying and has the advantage of providing a fast-track option for work-in-progress documents. This is also more cost effective than trying to photocopy or reprint water damaged papers.
Utilising a freeze vacuum chamber, recommended for antiquarian or irreplaceable books.
Tightly packed paperwork does not burn easily due to the lack of oxygen between the pages, therefore the damage is generally from acidic smoke or soot and acrid odour.
Smoke and soot odour can be removed permanently and charred documents can be stabilised to prevent further losses.
