- Professional Videotape Mold Remediation & Recovery
- Have you discovered a white, powdery substance on the reels of your old VHS, camcorder, or miniDV tapes? That isn't just dust, it is an active mold colony eating away at the magnetic tape holding your footage.
- Don’t let mold erase your family memories. We specialize in saving the tapes that other digitization labs reject.
- Mold-damaged videotapes are both a potential health risk and susceptible to further damage:
- The white powder on your tapes consists of active mold spores. Opening a cassette shell in your living room or using a household fan releases these spores into your home’s air and your lungs. We utilize professional containment and decontamination protocols to keep us safe.
- Video tape is fragile magnetic data. Using cotton swabs, alcohol, or a cheap VCR to "clean" the tape can permanently strip the magnetic oxide layer right off the plastic base. Once the oxide is gone, the video is gone forever.
- If you put a moldy tape into your home VCR or camcorder, the mold instantly transfers to the playback heads. Every clean tape you play after that can become infected and your VCR can be damaged.
- Transparent Pricing & Our "Risk-Free" Guarantee
- Remediation & Recovery: $72.50 per tape (Batch discounts available for batches of 5 or more or 10 or more).
- No Fix, No Fee: If a mold colony has permanently etched the tape and your footage cannot be recovered to our strict standards, you pay nothing for the repair attempt. We will return your tape at our expense.
- Optional Digital Delivery: Once repaired, we offer discounted, high-quality transfers to USB, DVD, and you can use our premium Instant Footage Access cloud delivery so you can view and share your memories immediately.
