Document Drying Services in Top-of-the-World
Document Freeze Drying Services
Freeze-drying turns water to vapor without passing through a liquid stage, which limits warping and ink running in delicate papers.
Flooded File Restoration
File cabinets that sat in water are emptied, drained and dried along with the files inside them.
Photo Drying After Water Damage
Photos are handled by their edges and dried away from direct heat, which can damage the image layer.
Emergency Paper Drying Response
Emergency response focuses on getting documents out of standing water, separating them and starting drying or placing them in a freezer right away.

How Document Drying Services Work in Top-of-the-World
Step 1: Wet Document Salvage and Sorting
Items are sorted by how wet they are and what they are made of, with important papers first.
Step 2: Stabilization
Soaked items are placed in a freezer to stop damage until they can be freeze-dried.
Step 3: Document Recovery
Lightly damp items are air dried, and soaked items are sent to a specialist for freeze-drying.
Step 4: Post-Drying Evaluation and Packaging
Dried items are checked, packed flat and labeled so they can be returned in order.
Sources of Water Damage to Documents
Roof Leaks During Heavy Rain
Roof leaks during heavy rain drip onto books and papers stored in upstairs rooms and attics.
Window or Door Seal Failures
Worn seals on windows and doors let rain reach papers stored near them.

Washers, water heaters and dishwashers leak onto boxes of papers stored nearby.
Fire Suppression System Activation
Fire sprinklers release water that soaks desks, files and bookshelves in the area.
