The primary factors in considering restoration
versus replacement are: time and money. For businesses or home offices,
the loss of valuable electronic equipment for a lengthy period of
time can be crucial to continued business operation. In addition,
loss of a homeowner's electronics or appliances can cause great
inconvenience. Through technologically advanced processes Electronic
Restoration, Inc. can have damaged equipment professionally
cleaned and back in service in a matter of days. This saves businesses
costly down time and helps consumers return quickly to their pre-disaster
lives.
When fire, water or smoke damage includes high-end
computer or consumer electronic equipment replacement costs can
be expensive for the insurance company as well as the policy holder.
The electronic restoration process, when appropriate, can save insurance
carriers as much as 75% of the replacement value. In many cases
equipment can be efficiently cleaned and restored to its pre-loss
or same as condition. As a rule, savings on restoration
versus replacement is realized for equipment valued at more than
$80.00 (back to top)
Quick reaction after damage by fire, water or
smoke is essential in saving equipment. If contaminated items are
not cleaned within a reasonable amount of time, an irreversible
process of corrosion will begin. Even with no visible exterior damage
evident, the interior of electronic equipment can be severely affected
with the onset of corrosion.
In a smoke environment, particulates such as
chlorides or nitrates will gravitate to plastics, copper and aluminum,
all of which are found in commercial and residential environments.
If these particulates are found on the exterior of an item, you
can be sure they will likely be present on the interior as well.
As for water damage, if the item has been directly contaminated,
or suspected of contamination, it should be cleaned before corrosion
sets in. (back to top)
The system of restoration chosen depends on the
type of equipment and the extent of damage. Our professional restoration
processes are the most technologically advanced services available
including: ultrasonic cleaning, aqueous cleaning and manual cleaning
by vacuum or compressor. (back
