Data Corruption Repair

The following terms apply to Data Repair by Walker Tek Solution LLC (Walker Tek).

Service
Includes up to six hours of labor. Additional hours will be billed at $95 per hour.

Note
When very complicated data repairs require more than 3 hours to complete they may not be available the next business morning. Because of the very nature of data repairs, it is impossible to know the extent of data corruption or damage until actually beginning the repair procedure. For this reason it is not possible to know how much time will be required to affect a data repair until after we have had the opportunity to open a database and examine it. In any data corruption scenario some data may be unrecoverable. In those situations in which a data repair is more complex than normal we can schedule a time to work on your data that is the least disruptive to your practice. Fortunately, most data repairs can be completed and the repaired database made available overnight!
