Fire and Water Damaged Photographs:
There comes a time when our precious photographic images have left us.
It's just not fair for some of us to let go of our photographic memories, we've
carefully kept so well, for so many years. We need someone who can respect
photographic properties and who can restore them specifically for you.
PixSavers can Save Fire and Flood damaged Photographs.
Take advantage of our fire and flood services.
IF your insurance company needs an estimate from a bona fide photo
restoration company, that's PixSavers! PixSavers will estimate your fire or
water damaged photos as fair as possible. Whether your insurance company
or you is sponsoring the recovery, we estimate then pick up your photographs
with personable service, and we take care of your photographs with care as if
they were our own.
If you have coverage from insurance, we can work with major insurance
carriers which provide low premium fire and flood protection. You should be
capable of extending your coverage for photographic restoration and many
photographs should be restored to replace your precious lifetime memories,
which are otherwise, irreplaceable. Photographs seem to be the last priority
when disaster strikes and in most cases are incorrectly considered a total loss
and forgotten. In this case, your insurance company will be just as comfortable
of replacing your photographs as easy as it would be to replace your TV.

FIRE DAMAGE:
From smoked photographs to photographs being outright burned by flames or worse:
Water-stains or surface damage could have taken place due to efforts of your fire responders during the time of the fire. If the
photograph provides enough information for us, PixSavers can restore your photographs accordingly. If your burned
photographs are fragile, we'll work carefully with your damaged photos while we restore and store your photographs onto CD.
We will work along with you to arrange transport, and then, we'll give you the finest handling of your originals as possible,
during all phases of your photographic restoration process.
We estimate your replacement costs from the photographic restoration processes known, then convey this information to you,
or if needed, we can convey this information to your insurance agent to begin work on your photographic losses rightaway.
Your photographic memory images are included under your "Personal Property Coverage" of your homeowner's personal
property policy or real estate property policy or your renter's property policy. Check with your insurance agent for your specific
coverage and to what degree it covers. You may be surprised how much it covers. This insurance coverage can vary between
carriers and does not required a separate rider unless your photographs are a private collection with an appraised value.
Each insurance company has a limit of the coverage per each policy holder, and can vary upon your personal property loss
and the limit you had set for your policy. There is little doubt that you will have priorities concerning which photographs and
that you will study upon which photographs will be restored. You may pick out certain damaged photographs which you want to
restore. We advise that you pick out photographs which pertain to genealogy and precious photographs. We recommend that
you include each replaceable photograph in your insurance claim, for your insurance company to repay your loss, lesser the
deductible if any. We can also work with your agent if you need us to list the photographs on the claim adjusters claim forms.
While going over your photographs, contact PixSavers and your insurance agent at the same time, so that we can begin the
process of working together to replace your losses concerning your photographic restoration needs. We'll work with you while
sorting out your lifetime of photographs and as you sort them we can help you with the value or costs factors within our own
process to help you mark photos as a priority.

WATER DAMAGE:
Stains, spots, mold, or mildew are usually the damages that take place in most cases. In severe cases where mold or mildew
may prevent the image from being seen, we will at first clean the spot, or otherwise find a way to scan the images and then
remove the stains digitally from replicated images. In both events, we maintain good photographic restoration.
SURFACE DAMAGE:
In the event of water or fire damage, photographs that are cracked, scratched, torn, missing parts or stained can be covered
under your insurance. Our activity could be to furnish your insurance company with a good scan of your photograph as
evidence that your insurance company is replacing a photograph, and the scan becomes part of your claim with our estimate.
It shows to your insurance company that our very trained photo artist, an our supervisor/owner digital technician, who has
been well trained for this task. We're very well known to most insurance companies and flood specialists. Your insurance
company will consider your photographs as safe with us.
SALVAGING:
In cases which the photographs is stuck to the glass, wetting the area was once believed to be the factor of freeing up a photo
from the glass, but not always so. In these cases, we photographically shoot through the glass to develop a new image from
the other side of the glass. We try our best to salvage the image by using simple techniques rather than using a technique
that may not be reversible. Your photograph could otherwise be adhered to the glass forever or worse yet, ruined forever.
In case your photograph is stuck to the frame-glass, upon removal, or call us instead of removing it yourself.
For mold and mildew, PixSavers doesn't use this method, but some other restorers may use bleach on mold and mildew of
black and white photographs then redevelop and they do this as a last resort. We would rather replicate digitally then restore
with digital enhancements. We advise not to use any chemistry on your photographs if wet, especially. Chemistry cannot
reverse the methods described above. Each instance has a different remedy but we look for different methods rather than
ruin an otherwise salvageable photograph.
IF your insurance policy is flood-specific or has a rider in your policy for flood damage, we can work with your insurance
company for water damaged photographic restoration. Refer to our company for estimates or call for estimates for your claim.
