Data recovery in Asheville, NC for one clear price

Asheville is a mountain city in western North Carolina's Blue Ridge, home to UNC Asheville, a large community of artists and makers, a busy tourism economy, and many remote workers and retirees. Since Hurricane Helene's flooding in 2024, a lot of people here have learned how quickly irreplaceable files can be lost when water and long outages hit at once. We recover data from damaged drives entirely by mail.

Common causes of data loss around Asheville

In late September 2024, the remnants of Hurricane Helene brought catastrophic flooding along the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers, with landslides, washed-out roads, and power and water outages that lasted for weeks across Buncombe County. Mountain valleys funnel heavy rain quickly, so homes and studios near creeks and rivers can flood with little warning. If a computer or drive has been submerged, do not power it on or try to dry it with heat. Keep it sealed in a bag, and keep at least one backup in the cloud or with someone outside the region.

Winters in the mountains bring ice storms and heavy, wet snow that bring down trees and power lines on steep, wooded roads, and outages can last longer in areas that are hard for crews to reach. Repeated flickers and long outages are hard on desktops and NAS units that are writing data when the power drops. Use a UPS for any computer or storage device that holds important work, shut down cleanly when a storm is forecast, and avoid running a generator-powered household on long extension cords to sensitive electronics.

Data recovery in Asheville — common questions

My drive was in Helene floodwater and has been sitting dry for a long time. Is it too late?+

Not necessarily. Flood-damaged drives are harder after mud and corrosion have had time to set in, but data is often still recoverable from the platters or memory chips. Do not try to power it on or clean it yourself. Confirm your case online, ship it in a sealed plastic bag with the free prepaid label, and our engineers will evaluate it. For a single device, you pay the flat $1,200 only if we recover your data.
