Lost Files or a Failing Drive? Stop Using It and Get a Local Evaluation

    Local data recovery intake and triage in Kingwood, Atascocita, Humble & Northeast Houston, TX. $50 same-day evaluation tells you whether it's a logical or physical failure — then you approve the quote before any recovery work begins.

    Before You Do Anything Else — Stop

    Most permanently lost data in Kingwood and Atascocita isn't lost by the failure itself. It's lost in the hours afterward, while someone tries to fix it. Read this list first.

    • Don't click Initialize, Format, or Erase when your computer offers to “fix” the disk.
    • Don't run CHKDSK, Disk Utility First Aid, or repair tools over and over — each pass can overwrite recoverable data.
    • Don't power-cycle a clicking or grinding hard drive. Every spin-up can turn a recoverable drive into a lost one.
    • Don't open a hard drive. Platters exposed to room air pick up contamination that makes recovery far harder.
    • Don't reinstall the operating system or keep saving files to the affected drive.
    • Don't put a wet device on a charger or in rice. Leave it off and bring it in.

    Power the device down, unplug it, and call (936) 251-6130 or submit your case. We'll tell you what not to touch before you bring it in.

    • Handled entirely in-house in Northeast Houston

    • Cleanroom head-stack and platter work performed in our lab
    • Donor parts matched from our internal parts library
    • Escalation to a specialist partner disclosed up front when a case calls for it

    Transparent Intake & Pricing

    No mystery diagnostics, no surprise invoices, no device disappearing into a shipping label.

    $50 evaluation, same day

    A flat $50 gets your device evaluated the same day you bring it in. That fee buys you a real answer: logical or physical failure, what's recoverable, and what it takes.

    Same-day diagnostic window

    Local logical cases are diagnosed the day of intake. Physical and specialist-escalation cases get a written timeline at the end of the evaluation, before you commit.

    You approve the quote first

    No recovery work begins until you approve a fixed quote. If the case needs to escalate to a specialist lab, you hear the price and the partner's role before it leaves our hands.

    Documented chain of custody

    Every device is logged at intake with make, model, serial, and condition. You get a receipt, and any transfer to a specialist partner is recorded and disclosed to you.

    Your old media comes back

    We return your original media at the end of the job. Recovered data is delivered on whatever medium you prefer — your own external drive, a new drive we supply, or your cloud storage.

    Your Data Stays Your Data

    Handing over a drive means handing over your tax records, client files, and family photos. Here's how we treat them.

    Access controls

    Your data is handled by the assigned technician only. Working images live on dedicated recovery storage, not on shared office machines.

    Encryption in our custody

    Recovery images are stored on encrypted volumes. If you supply keys, passwords, or recovery phrases for an encrypted device, they're used for your case and not retained afterward.

    Retention & deletion

    We keep your recovered data for a short holding period after delivery so you can verify it, then securely erase our copies. Ask for confirmation of deletion in writing and we'll provide it.

    Partner disclosure

    If a case requires a specialist physical-recovery partner, we tell you who it is and what they receive before your device or image leaves our custody. Nothing is sent out silently.

    What Kingwood & Atascocita Says

    "My external hard drive failed with 10 years of family photos. Two other shops said it was hopeless. These guys recovered everything in 48 hours. Absolutely incredible."

    After the Recovery: Don't Do This Twice

    Recovery is the expensive way to get your files back. Our parent IT business handles the cheap way.

    Automated backup & cloud sync

    Once your files are back, we set up backup that runs without you remembering to run it — local copy plus offsite, verified on a schedule.

    Device replacement & migration

    If the drive that failed is still in your machine, it will fail again. We migrate recovered data to new storage or a new device and hand it back working.

    Managed IT & business continuity

    For businesses: monitored backup, RAID health alerting, and a documented restore plan through Atascocita IT, so the next outage is an inconvenience instead of a crisis.
