Our hearts go out to all those that have had the misfortune of some natural or other type of disaster. We are here to help you get some of your precious photo and slide memories back. Because of the nature of the damage to your slides, which is most likely some kind of flood damage, we have to charge more than we would for nice clean undamaged slides. The more time it takes us to do the work, the more we have to charge.
Flood Damaged Slide Preparation
We will not take any slides that are coated with dirt in any way. You will have to clean them off the best that you can, possibly by running water on each slide and letting the water pressure from your faucet clean off the mud or dirt. You have to be very careful when using any water for cleaning slides because the emulsion on the slides is water soluble. We have not seen any slides damaged with just running water BUT never rub the slide surface when it is wet with water or the emulsion will slide right off. Don't try to dry, with a cloth, any slides that are wet with water. We are not responsible for any damage that you do to your slides. You have to get the mud off the slides somehow and the mud is only going to come off with water. After washing the slides off, set them on microfiber cloths and let them dry slowly at room temperature and not in the sun so as to minimize the slide holder warping. We do NOT do any cleaning of the slides. We scan them as you send them. We expect that these will be slides that nobody else wanted to scan because of their bad condition.
Warped slides make it extra hard for us to get a good scan. We will do our best to flatten them out for scanning but, if the films are warped by the slide holder, it is going to be very hard to get a good scan with everything in focus.
When your slides get damaged in a flood, you are going to get mold and mildew if the slides are not properly dried off without delay. Once the mold and mildew starts eating at the emulsion of the slide, there is no way to fix it other than to scan it and fix it digitally with a photo editing program. Yes, we can do that but each case is different and we can't give a price without seeing the damage.
