Data recovery in Lafayette, LA for one clear price
Lafayette is the hub of Acadiana in south-central Louisiana, home to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a regional medical and oil-and-gas services economy, and a rich Cajun and Creole culture. Heavy rain, flooding along the Vermilion River, hurricanes, and relentless humidity are the main threats to its devices. When a drive fails in Lafayette, we recover it by mail.
In August 2016, days of extreme rainfall flooded thousands of homes across Acadiana and the Baton Rouge region, including many Lafayette neighborhoods that had never flooded before. The Vermilion River and local coulees can rise quickly in heavy storms. Keep computers, NAS units, and backup drives off the floor and away from exterior walls, keep a cloud copy of important files, and if a device has been in floodwater, do not power it on. Seal it in a plastic bag and get it evaluated quickly.
Lafayette sits close enough to the Gulf that hurricanes such as Rita in 2005 and Laura in 2020 brought damaging wind and extended outages to the region. Humidity is a constant even without storms, and condensation forms on equipment moved from air conditioning into the heat. Unplug equipment before a storm arrives, avoid running computers on an improperly grounded generator, and store drives in interior rooms that stay cool and dry.

Data recovery in Lafayette — common questions
My computer was in a flooded room. Should I let it dry out and try it?+
No. Flood water carries silt and contaminants that cause corrosion, and powering on a wet device is what does the most damage. Keep the drive or computer unplugged, place it in a sealed plastic bag, and ship it promptly. The sooner a flood-damaged drive is evaluated, the better the odds.
