Common causes of data loss around Wilmington

Wilmington is regularly in the path of Atlantic hurricanes and tropical storms, and the combination of storm surge, river flooding along the Cape Fear, and days of heavy rain can flood homes and leave the area without power for long stretches. Before a storm, back up computers and phones to the cloud, put backup drives in sealed waterproof bags or bins on an upper floor, and evacuate with your laptop and a backup copy rather than leaving both in the same house.

Even in calm weather, the coastal humidity and salt air are hard on electronics. Moisture and salt corrode ports, connectors, and drive circuit boards over time, and devices kept in beach houses, garages, or boats age faster. Keep electronics in air-conditioned spaces, use a dehumidifier in rooms where you store backups, and do not power on a phone or drive that has been exposed to seawater; salt water corrodes quickly, so ship it as soon as possible.

Data recovery in Wilmington — common questions

My device was in hurricane floodwater. How fast do I need to act?+

As fast as you reasonably can. Floodwater carries salt, silt, and contaminants that corrode electronics, and the damage keeps progressing while the device sits. Do not power it on or try to dry it with heat. Put it in a sealed plastic bag and confirm your case online; expedited and emergency service are available on request.

No. ClearQuote has no local office, drop-off point, or courier in Wilmington. We are a nationwide mail-in service, so you print the free prepaid label we email and ship from any carrier location in the area.

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

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.
