Dayton is the birthplace of aviation and still an aerospace and defense town, anchored by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the University of Dayton, and Wright State University. Researchers, engineers, students, and families in the Miami Valley lose data to tornadoes, river flooding, and Ohio's sharp winters. When a device fails in Dayton, you ship it to us by mail with a free prepaid label.
The Dayton area knows severe weather well. The Memorial Day 2019 tornado outbreak tore through neighborhoods across the region and left many homes damaged and without power for days. Spring and summer storms here routinely bring lightning, high winds, and outages. Keep desktops and home NAS units on a UPS, unplug sensitive equipment when a strong storm approaches, and keep a recent backup off-site or in the cloud so a damaged house does not mean losing everything on the computer inside it.
Dayton sits on the Great Miami River, and the Great Flood of 1913 led to the system of dry dams and levees that protects the valley today. Heavy rain can still flood basements and low streets, and Ohio winters bring ice storms and freezing temperatures that burst pipes in older homes. Keep computers and drives off basement floors, store important equipment away from water lines, and let devices that rode in a freezing car warm up before powering them on.

Data recovery in Dayton — common questions
My house was damaged in a storm and my computer got wet. What should I do?+
Do not turn it on. Water combined with electricity causes far more damage than water alone. Unplug it, remove the drive if you can do so safely, place it in a sealed plastic bag, and confirm your case online as soon as possible. The sooner a water-exposed drive reaches our cleanroom, the less time corrosion has to set in.
Can I hand my drive to someone in Dayton instead of mailing it?+
No. ClearQuote has no office, lab, courier, or drop-off point in Dayton. We are a mail-in service: confirm online, print the free prepaid label we send, and drop the package at any carrier location in the Dayton area.
Do I have to visit a location in Dayton?+
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 Dayton, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.
How much does data recovery cost in Dayton?+
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.
