We were recovering from a fire and had to deal with many companies—restoration, clothing, insurance, and more. The most consistently professional, helpful, and pleasant company to work with was RescueTech, hands down. They took excellent care of all of my electronics, were easy to reach by phone, kept their appointments, were flexible and most importantly, went above and beyond what they absolutely had to do for us. I wish all companies involved in the fire had approached their standards.A true WOW!Debra-Sue Cope

ThunderRidge High School, Highlands Ranch
Water Damage
CHALLENGE: The main computer lab in the high school was damaged by a false fire alarm that set off a sprinkler system within the room.
SOLUTION: We were able to clean, test and setup the lab to operate normally within a week.
Almost 2 years ago, an overhead water pipe burst in one of our computer labs at ThunderRidge High School. Every piece of equipment and cable in the room had been touched by the coolant filled water - 31 computers, mice, keyboards, an LCD projector, printers, a TV, VCR/DVD players, power strips and a few other other items - 178 distinct items. Losing a computer lab with scheduled classes most periods of each day was tough and RescueTech recognized how important a rapid response was to us. Thanks to them, our lab was back in operation in just over one week!!Before the end of school the day it happened, RescueTech retrieved every piece of equipment from that lab, inventoried it and took it to their shop for cleaning and, hopefully, restoration. The equipment was returned to us in immaculate condition and 177 of 178 items worked - the only item that couldn't be saved was an LCD projector. We have had zero problems with any of the equipment from that lab in the 21 months since the leak. And the lab was back in business in a third the time (minimum) it would have taken us to replace everything with new equipment.Everyone we dealt with at RescueTech was friendly, helpful and professional. They did the heavy work, they kept meticulous records, and they kept us updated on progress. I was totally impressed and would recommend them enthusiastically to anyone who asked!!Janet Van Zant Technical Computer Resource Teacher ThunderRidge High School Douglas County Schools, Colorado
