Birmingham was founded as an iron and steel city in Jones Valley and has reinvented itself around medicine, research, and banking, with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and its medical center now among the largest employers in the state. Hills, humid heat, and some of the most active tornado weather in the country put devices at risk. When a laptop or drive fails, we recover Birmingham data by mail.

Common causes of data loss around Birmingham

Central Alabama sits in one of the most tornado-prone regions in the United States, with a strong spring storm season and a second one in late fall. On April 27, 2011, a historic outbreak sent violent tornadoes across the state, including one that devastated the Pratt City area of Birmingham. Severe storms also bring lightning, damaging wind, and outages. Keep a current backup off site or in the cloud so a damaged house does not mean lost data, run desktops and NAS units on a UPS, and unplug sensitive electronics when storms are close.

Birmingham's ridges and valleys funnel heavy rain into creeks and low streets, and flash flooding can reach basements and ground-floor offices quickly. Summers are long, hot, and humid, and moisture in basements and crawl spaces slowly corrodes drives and electronics. Many older homes in neighborhoods built during the steel era also have outdated wiring. Keep computers and storage off basement floors, store backup drives in a dry, air-conditioned room, and use grounded outlets with surge protection for anything you cannot afford to lose.

Data recovery in Birmingham — common questions

A tornado damaged our house. Can data still be recovered from the computers?+

Often, yes. Drives in damaged homes can be cracked, wet, or full of debris and still hold recoverable data, as long as nobody tries to power them on. Pull the computer or drive out carefully, keep it unplugged, bag it, and confirm your case online. Our engineers evaluate it in a cleanroom, and for a single device you pay the flat $1,200 only if we recover your data.
