Serving Richmond

Data recovery for Richmond — without shipping your drive away.

Richmond has plenty of phone and computer repair counters, but very few places that can open a hard drive in a clean environment or pull data off a dead SSD at chip level. RecoveryMaster's lab is in Surrey — and we pick up from anywhere in Richmond for free.

A big share of our Richmond work comes from the business side: warehouses, logistics and import/export offices, and retail operations whose accounting files, order history or camera footage sit on one server, NAS or DVR. We also handle plenty of personal cases — family photos on an old external drive, phones that stopped booting, SD cards from Steveston weekend shoots. Pickup is free, the diagnostic is free, and you only pay once you have verified your files.

The lab is about 30–35 minutes from Richmond City Centre via Highway 91 and the Alex Fraser Bridge. Walk-in drop-off needs no appointment, Monday to Saturday.

If a drive is clicking, beeping, not detected, or the device won't boot — turn it off and leave it off. Don't run repair tools or recovery software on it. Every extra power-on narrows the recovery window.

The Process

How data recovery works for Richmond clients — zero risk.

You carry no financial risk from the first call. The diagnostic is free, the quote is written, and you only pay after you've seen your files.

Pickup, Drop-Off or Mail-In

Free pickup from anywhere in Richmond. Or walk in at 14935 100th Ave, Surrey — no appointment needed. Every device is photographed and logged with a case number on arrival.

Free Diagnostic + Written Quote

A technician identifies the exact failure and what is recoverable. You get a written quote with a confirmed turnaround. Nothing starts without your approval — and the diagnostic is free even if you say no.

In-House Recovery

Imaging, head swaps on a HEPA-filtered clean bench, SSD firmware and NAND work, RAID reconstruction — all in-house with Ace Lab PC-3000 and DeepSpar. Your data never leaves BC.

You Verify — Then You Pay

You receive a file listing and confirm the files that matter are there. Payment only after that. Data is returned on a new drive or by secure download.

Why RecoveryMaster

Why Richmond residents and businesses choose RecoveryMaster.

A repair counter can replace a screen. Recovering data from a clicking drive, a dead SSD or a failed RAID needs a lab.

A Real Lab, Close By

Ace Lab PC-3000, DeepSpar, a HEPA-filtered clean bench and NAND extraction tools — at 14935 100th Ave, Surrey, about 30–35 minutes from Richmond City Centre via Highway 91 and the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Free Diagnostic, Written Quote

You know what failed, what is recoverable and what it costs before you commit to anything.

98% Success Across 23,000+ Devices

Hard drives, SSDs, phones, RAID arrays — including cases other shops had already called unrecoverable.

You Verify Before You Pay

No data, no fee. When recovery succeeds, you confirm your files yourself before any payment is taken.

Data Never Leaves BC

No third-party labs, no out-of-province shipping. Every step happens in-house.

Talk to Your Technician

You speak directly with the person working on your device — not a call centre.

Security Protocol

Data privacy & chain of custody.

Your files are never opened. Integrity is verified through checksums and file-structure analysis only. Every step from intake to delivery is logged and handled by one technician.

Intake Logging

Every device photographed and logged with a unique case number, serial, model and condition.

Restricted Access

Only your assigned technician handles your device. No shared workstations.

Files Never Browsed

Verified by checksums and structure analysis — not by opening your content.

Secure Delivery

New external drive or password-protected download. Lab copies purged afterwards.

Your Original Device

Returned, held, or securely destroyed — your choice.

Honest Advice

Don't do these after a device failure.

Doing nothing and bringing it to a lab is safer than any of these.

Powering It On Again and Again

On a clicking hard drive, every spin-up risks the heads scratching the platters. On a failing SSD, repeated boots can push it into a firmware lock.

Running CHKDSK or Disk Utility Repair

Repair tools write to the drive and can overwrite the file-system structures a lab needs to rebuild your folders.

Installing Recovery Software on the Same Drive

Installing anything to the affected drive can overwrite the deleted files you want back.

Rebuilding a Failed RAID

A forced rebuild on a degraded array with a second weak drive is the most common way recoverable RAIDs become unrecoverable.

Opening the Drive

Dust on a platter causes permanent damage. Head work needs a clean bench and matched donor parts.

Common Questions

Data recovery in Richmond — frequently asked questions.

Straight answers about cost, timing, pickup and what to do right now.

No. Our only lab is at 14935 100th Ave, Surrey — about 30–35 minutes from Richmond City Centre. Every case is handled there, in-house. Richmond clients get free pickup, so you don't have to cross the river yourself.

Call 604-767-1701 right away. For business-critical failures we offer 24/7 emergency intake and same-day start on cases received before noon. Do not let anyone rebuild the RAID or reinitialise the NAS before we have imaged the drives — that is the most common way recoverable arrays become unrecoverable.

Cost depends on the failure: deleted or formatted files are simplest; a clicking hard drive needing a head swap, a dead SSD needing chip-level work, or a multi-drive RAID costs more. Every case starts with a free diagnostic and a written quote. You pay only after you have verified your recovered files — and nothing at all if recovery fails.

If we can't recover the data you need, you pay nothing — no diagnostic fee, no partial charge. If we succeed, you get a file listing and confirm the important files are there before any payment is taken.

Standard: 3–5 business days. Priority: 2–3 days. Urgent: 24–48 hours with a dedicated technician. Same-day emergency start for devices received before noon. The timeline is confirmed in your written quote.

Turn it off and leave it off. Clicking usually means the read/write heads are failing, and every power-on risks scratching the platters where your data lives. Don't run recovery software or open the drive. Book a free diagnostic.

No. Files are never opened or browsed — integrity is checked through checksums and file-structure analysis. Only your assigned technician handles the device, and all lab copies are purged after you confirm delivery.
