Common causes of data loss around Baltimore

Baltimore's harbor neighborhoods are exposed to tidal flooding during tropical storms and strong nor'easters. Hurricane Isabel in 2003 pushed storm surge into Fells Point and other waterfront areas, flooding streets and ground floors. Heavy summer downpours also flood basements and low streets across the city. Saltwater and floodwater corrode electronics quickly, so keep servers, desktops, and backup drives off basement and ground-floor floors, and if a device gets wet, leave it unplugged and get it evaluated rather than drying it with heat.

Many Baltimore rowhouses are close to a century old or more, and their wiring was never designed for modern loads. Ungrounded outlets, overloaded circuits, and summer heat waves that strain the grid all increase the risk of surges and brownouts. Summers are also very humid, and moisture in unconditioned basements and attics speeds corrosion. Use a UPS or a good surge protector on every computer and NAS, have older wiring checked, and keep a backup copy somewhere other than the house.

Data recovery in Baltimore — common questions

Our rowhouse basement flooded and the computer down there will not turn on. What now?+
Leave it off. Floodwater leaves minerals and residue that can destroy a drive if it is powered on, and trying to dry it with a hair dryer or heater can bake that residue onto parts. Seal the drive or the whole computer in a plastic bag, confirm your case online, and ship it with the free prepaid label. For a single device you pay the flat $1,200 only if we recover your data.
I work with sensitive research or health data. How is my drive handled?+
Your device goes to our cleanroom and is handled by our engineers, not by a local third party. Recovered data is returned to you, and you can tell us about any handling requirements your institution has when you confirm your case online.
Do I have to visit a location in Baltimore?+
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 Baltimore, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.
How much does data recovery cost in Baltimore?+
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.
