Common causes of data loss around Detroit

In late June 2021, torrential rain flooded freeways and thousands of basements across Detroit and nearby communities, and many households lost computers, backup drives, and boxes of old media. Detroit's older housing stock and combined sewer systems make basement backups a recurring risk in heavy storms. Keep electronics on shelves well above basement floors, consider a backflow preventer and a sump pump with battery backup, and never power on a device that has been in water.

Michigan summers bring severe thunderstorms and windstorms, and winter brings ice storms and bitter cold, all of which can cause long outages. The August 2003 blackout darkened Detroit along with much of the Northeast and Midwest. Abrupt shutdowns and surges damage drives, and cold devices brought indoors can form condensation. Use a UPS with surge protection, let cold devices warm up before powering on, and keep a backup copy outside the house.

Data recovery in Detroit — common questions

Our basement flooded and our computer and backup drive were both down there. Can both be recovered?+

Often, yes. Do not power either one on, and do not try to dry them with heat. Seal each drive or device in a plastic bag, confirm your case online, and ship them with the free prepaid label. Single devices are a flat $1,200 each, paid only if we recover your data.

My laptop was in a freezing car overnight. Is it safe to turn on?+

Let it warm to room temperature for a few hours first, since condensation can form inside cold electronics. If it still will not start or the drive clicks, stop trying and have it evaluated.

Do I have to visit a location in Detroit?+

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 Detroit, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.

How much does data recovery cost in Detroit?+

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.
