Data recovery in Paterson, NJ for one clear price

Common causes of data loss around Paterson

The Passaic River runs through the heart of Paterson, and neighborhoods along its banks have flooded repeatedly, most severely after Hurricane Irene in 2011, when the river rose to record levels and forced evacuations. Heavy rain from tropical storms and nor'easters can do the same. Keep computers and drives off basement and ground floors near the river, back up to the cloud, and never power on a device that sat in floodwater. Seal it in a bag and get it evaluated.

Much of Paterson's housing is older and dense, including multi-family homes and converted mill-era buildings with aging wiring, limited outlets, and damp basements. Overloaded power strips, ungrounded outlets, and winter outages during nor'easters are hard on computers. Use grounded outlets and a UPS with surge protection, avoid daisy-chained power strips, store spare drives in sealed containers off the floor, and let devices from a cold apartment warm up before switching them on.
