Electronics play a huge role in our personal and professional lives, and these items are often affected during a fire or water loss.
While conventional wisdom may hold that the electronics are ruined, Woodard's experts can often clean and restore them to pre-loss condition!
Incredibly, cleaning and restoration costs for many of these items represent just 20 to 40 percent of the replacement cost. Thus, significant savings can be generated through restoring the item versus replacing it. Woodard is so sure of our electronics restoration efforts that we even reinstate the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty after a successful electronic restoration project.
Woodard's electronic restoration process mirrors that of the U.S. Department of Defense. In fact, much of the equipment we utilize is the same top-of-the-line equipment that the DOD uses.
While restoration processes are customized for each item, Woodard typically follows these main steps:
Electronics are partially disassembled to allow cleaning access to circuit boards.
Batteries and hard drives are removed.
Pressurized, filtered air is used to gently dislodge loose contaminants.
De-ionized water, cleaners and surfactants are applied.
Pressurized air is used to gently remove much of the excess moisture.
Items are thoroughly dried in a warm, low-humidity chamber.
Items are reassembled and tested.
Woodard maintains detailed records through this entire process, allowing us to coordinate any claimed losses with insurance professionals.
