Flood Damage

Seawater can do tremendous damage to equipment and digital media. We have successfully recovered media from buildings flooded with seawater, sewage, and mixtures of the two. We’ve dealt with water, oil contamination, diesel fuel and seawater contamination, etc.

Fire Damage

Depending on the amount of damage, data can often be recovered from fire damaged equipment. Fire damage can look horrific, but in many cases the damage is mainly cosmetic – drives are often recoverable.

Physical Damage

Washington DC Computer Forensics has recovered data from crushed computer systems, collapsed server rooms, etc., impact damage from car and plane crashes. We regularly repair and forensically extract data from systems and devices that have been intentionally destroyed by their owners in an effort to hide illegal activities or thwart investigations.


HAZMAT Certified Recovery Experts

Some environments are potentially toxic and dangerous. We’ve used HAZMAT extraction teams extensively, like in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

  • Trained and certified HAZMAT teams on call
  • Testing for contaminants like radiation, bacteria and carbons
  • Removal and sanitization of compromised equipment.
