A deadline changes everything. Court exhibits, payroll Friday, a thesis defense, a client deliverable — when the clock is the problem, call first and bring the device in now. Emergency cases skip the standard queue and start with an immediate $50 evaluation.
The most common way emergencies get worse is the ten minutes of 'trying things' before the call. Do not run recovery software, do not keep rebooting, do not open the drive, do not let Windows repair or format anything. Power the device off, call (936) 251-6130, and tell us three things: what the device is, what happened, and what the deadline is. We will tell you over the phone whether the case is urgent-stable or urgent-fragile, and what to do in the meantime.
Evaluation and triage happen the day you bring the device in. Logical cases — deleted files, corrupt volumes, formatted cards — are frequently completed within the same day or overnight. Physically failing drives are different: imaging a weak drive takes as long as the drive takes, and rushing it risks the data. We give you an honest timeline at the evaluation, not a promise that sounds good and fails at midnight.
Emergency service changes the order of work, not the quality of it. Your case still gets read-only imaging, fixed quoting, and original-media return — it just starts now instead of Tuesday. Where a partial result beats a complete one, we deliver proofs of the critical files first (the exhibit, the payroll file, the thesis) and the full recovery after.
National labs quote 'expedited' service that still starts with a FedEx label. We are in Kingwood. Drop-off is minutes away for Kingwood, Atascocita, Humble, Porter, New Caney, and Summerwood — and the device is on the bench the same hour, not in a sorting facility overnight.
The evaluation is the same flat $50. Recovery is quoted fixed before work begins; emergency turnaround carries a priority surcharge that we state plainly in the quote. You approve everything before work starts, and there is no recovery fee if no usable data is recovered.
Evaluation is same day. Logical cases often complete same day or overnight. Physically failing drives take as long as safe imaging takes — we give you a real timeline at intake.
Yes. Call (936) 251-6130 and tell us it is urgent — we make emergency intake available outside standard hours.
Power it off and stop all attempts. Every boot, scan, or repair pass on a failing drive spends data. Call before trying anything else.
Yes. Name the files that matter at intake — we deliver proofs of those first and the full recovery after.
Emergency turnaround carries a priority surcharge, stated in the fixed quote you approve before any work begins. The $50 evaluation fee is unchanged.
