Norwalk is a coastal Fairfield County city on Long Island Sound, with corporate offices, a busy harbor, the SoNo district, and Metro-North commuters heading to Stamford and New York City. Coastal storms, salt air, and winter outages are the big threats to home and office computers here. When one fails, we recover it by mail with a free prepaid label after you confirm online.
Norwalk's shoreline, harbor, and the Norwalk River make low-lying neighborhoods vulnerable to coastal flooding and storm surge. Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012 both brought flooding and long outages to the Connecticut coast. Salt air near the water corrodes connectors and electronics over time. Keep computers and backup drives off floors and out of basements near the shore, back up important files outside the area, and never power on a device that has been in floodwater.
Nor'easters and winter storms bring heavy snow, ice, and wind that bring down trees and power lines across Fairfield County, and outages can last days. Repeated flickers are hard on drives and network storage that are writing data. Put desktops and home-office equipment on a UPS, shut them down cleanly when a storm is forecast, and let laptops warm up before use after a cold commute so condensation does not form.

Data recovery in Norwalk — common questions
A nor'easter knocked our power out and now our home NAS shows a failed drive. Should we replace it and rebuild?+
Not before checking the other drives. A power event can weaken more than one drive, and a rebuild onto a weak array can cause permanent data loss. Power the NAS down, note the drive order, and confirm your case online. RAID and NAS recoveries get a free evaluation and a custom quote before any work begins.
Is there a ClearQuote office in Norwalk or Stamford?+
No. ClearQuote has no office, lab, or drop-off point in Connecticut or anywhere else. It is a nationwide mail-in service. Confirm online and ship from any carrier location in Norwalk.

No. ClearQuote is a mail-in service — there's no drop-off required. We email you a free prepaid shipping label, you send the device from anywhere in Norwalk, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.

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.
