Saving photos that have been through a fire.

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Mar 10, 2014There are professional companies that perform this type of work. Your insurance company should be able to provide you with names of those that they would recommend and most likely are covered by your insurance. This type of restoration is very tricky and should not be attempted with any home remedy solution. Here is a web site for a company in the NYC area, but I am sure there are many near your location as well. http://www.artisanphotorestoration.com/contact.htmlHelpful Reply

Liliana Wells on Mar 12, 2014So sorry to hear of your parents' trouble. Both suggestions above are very good. If you decide to scan some damaged photos, try a few and see if it's something you can do yourself. I would think it would be very time-consuming. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Cyndy B on Mar 12, 2014All great suggestions. I would just add that scanning old family photos is always a good idea for any of us. Not only should disaster strike, but also to display/alter while preserving the original AND a great way to share with loved ones! I'm the thrilled recipient of many treasured family photos this way, and happily share mine as well. I wish your folks well after their trauma. I bet your sweet gesture will mean the world to them! Stuff is stuff, but memories truly are priceless.Helpful Reply
