CHARLOTTE, MI – January 20, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
SERVPRO of Eaton County, Clinton & Gratiot Counties, and Lansing & Holt operate as a single regional SERVPRO ownership group, incorporating document restoration processes as an established component of their broader property restoration operations. Serving a wide multi-county area through coordinated teams and shared operational practices, the organization provides cleanup and restoration services for residential and commercial properties affected by various forms of damage. Within this framework, document restoration processes function as a specialized technical element focused on the careful handling and preservation of paper-based records. This aspect addresses the need to stabilize, clean, and restore physical documents as part of standard restoration workflows, ensuring that paper materials receive appropriate attention alongside other restoration activities.
In property restoration, physical records such as contracts, certificates, financial documents, photographs, books, and other paper-based items often require specific procedures to prevent further deterioration and facilitate recovery. Document restoration processes involve coordinated steps that begin with the secure pack-out and delivery of affected materials to a specialized facility. An inventory and assessment follow to evaluate the condition of each item and determine the appropriate recovery methods. Stabilization occurs through freezing to halt ongoing damage, particularly in cases involving moisture. Subsequent steps utilize controlled techniques such as vacuum freeze-drying, which removes moisture while preserving the integrity of the paper. Additional procedures, including gamma irradiation when necessary, help address potential contaminants, followed by further cleaning or related services as required.
These processes rely on industry-standard practices developed for handling sensitive paper materials. The approach mirrors methods employed by institutions responsible for preserving archival records, emphasizing precision and consistency to maintain the usability of documents. Across the Eaton County, Clinton & Gratiot Counties, and Lansing & Holt service areas, local SERVPRO teams apply these standardized procedures as part of an integrated operational model. The integration of document restoration within property restoration operations reflects the comprehensive nature of the work, where attention to contents and specialized items complements structural and general cleanup efforts.
According to SERVPRO representatives involved in overseeing restoration operations across Eaton County, Clinton & Gratiot Counties, and Lansing & Holt, document restoration is handled as part of established workflows rather than as a standalone function.
“Document restoration processes require careful coordination and adherence to specific techniques to properly stabilize and preserve paper-based records during restoration projects,” said Joshua A. Ingersoll, a co-owner of the SERVPRO operations serving Eaton County, Clinton & Gratiot Counties, and Lansing & Holt. “Our local teams follow structured procedures to manage these materials as part of the larger property recovery effort,” Ingersoll added.
Dean M. Dingman, also a co-owner of the regional SERVPRO operations, added, “The application of controlled methods such as freezing and vacuum freeze-drying allows for the methodical handling of physical documents, ensuring they are addressed according to established industry standards.”
SERVPRO franchises maintain a focus on utilizing trained personnel and systematic approaches across their services. The inclusion of document restoration processes enables the handling of paper records alongside other restoration activities, such as contents cleaning and specialty services.
