Antioch is an eastern Contra Costa County city on the San Joaquin River at the edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a commuter suburb connected to the Bay Area by BART. It is much hotter than the Bay shoreline in summer, and long commutes and busy households mean a lot of unbacked-up data. When a device fails in Antioch, we recover it by mail with a free prepaid label.
Antioch's inland location means hot summers that can push indoor temperatures high in homes without strong air conditioning, and heat shortens drive life and swells laptop batteries. The dry hills around the city are prone to grass fires, and fire seasons bring smoke and utility public safety power shutoffs. Keep computers in cool rooms, never leave laptops in parked cars, and put desktops on a UPS.
Strong winds blowing in from the Delta carry dust and pollen into homes and computer fans, and winter storms can bring heavy rain and flooding in low areas near the river. Clean vents and fans regularly, keep electronics and backup drives off the floor, and use surge protection to handle storm-related power flickers. Keep a cloud backup so one failure does not take everything.

Data recovery in Antioch — common questions
My phone fell in the river. What should I do?+
Do not try to turn it on or charge it, and do not put it in rice. River water carries silt and minerals that cause corrosion. Seal it in a plastic bag and confirm your case online as soon as you can. For a single device you pay the flat $1,200 only if we recover your data.

One flat $1,200 for the consumer devices we handle — hard drives, SSDs, phones, and cards — quoted before you ship. There are no per-gigabyte fees and no diagnostic charge, and you pay $0 if we can't recover your data.
