Data recovery in Houston, TX

Photos, documents, drives that won't boot — recovered when possible. We tell you the chances upfront.

How much does data recovery cost in Houston?

1–3 hrs (software cases)💵 $150–$300 typical35-mile radius

Estimates are typical residential ranges and assume our standard hourly rate. Because we bill hourly, the final cost depends on how long the job actually takes — it can run higher. A business rate or any active discount may change your price. You'll always get a real quote after diagnosis.

When a drive starts clicking, won't mount, or your laptop won't turn on, the first hour matters. We attempt safe recovery on-site, and if the drive needs clean-room work we coordinate that with you.

What is data recovery?

Data recovery is the process of retrieving photos, documents, and other files from a drive that's failing, won't mount, or has been formatted. The first hour with a non-booting drive matters most — improper recovery attempts can make professional recovery harder or impossible.

What’s included in data recovery in Houston?

  • Read-only attempt — no further damage to the drive
  • Recovery of photos, documents, email, contacts
  • Transfer to a fresh drive or cloud storage

What problems does data recovery fix?

Drive won't mount

Computer doesn't see it, or sees it but can't read it. Often recoverable with the right software — sometimes needs hardware-level work.

Accidentally deleted

Files emptied from trash, formatted partition, or overwritten. Faster you call, better the chances.

Water / drop damage

Phone in the pool, laptop off the counter. Don't power it back on — that's when more damage happens. Call us first.

Software vs. clean-room recovery

Software recovery

Drive is detected by the computer but files are missing, deleted, or unreadable. Same-visit, $150–$300 typical.

Clean-room recovery

Drive clicks, won't spin up, or had physical damage (water, drop, fire). $400–$1,200 at our partner clean-room, 5–10 business days.

Dave was great — he fixed our computer and printer, got us a trial period for streaming YouTube TV, and made sure I understood how to use it. I highly recommend AGeek.

The technician was friendly, knowledgeable and skilled, which made the whole experience really great. He saved my hard drive with all my data, went shopping with me for a new computer, and set it up. I'm very grateful how everything turned out.
