Document Reprocessors’ exclusive Thermaline® drying process is particularly effective for successful recovery of wet books and paper documents.

 

Salvaging, recovering, and drying water-damaged books is usually significantly cheaper than replacing them. Paper documents often cannot be easily or affordably replaced and drying is your only practical alternative for recovery of the information.

However, time is working against you. You must act quickly to salvage your books and documents! Depending on the temperature, climatic conditions, the nature of the contamination, and other factors, mold can begin to form quickly if nothing is done. Do not let this happen!
