Data Recovery Services in Quebec City

💾 Hard Drive Recovery

Internal or external HDD — Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba, HGST. Clicking, not detected, dropped, overheated. Head and platter work done in a certified clean room.

⚡ SSD & NVMe Recovery

Samsung, Crucial, Kingston, Apple NVMe. Dead SSD, not seen by BIOS, disappeared after an update. Flash memory needs a different process than a mechanical drive — no software will bring it back.

🍎 Mac Water Damage or Won't Turn On

MacBook, iMac, Mac mini dead after a spill, a drop or a logic board failure. We extract photos, documents and Time Machine backups — including Apple Silicon models with the SSD soldered to the board.

🖥️ Computer Won't Boot

Black screen, boot loop, dead motherboard or power supply: the computer doesn't need to work for us to get your files. We pull the drive or SSD and copy your data to a new drive. Bring the whole machine.

📱 iPhone, Android & iPad

Phone or tablet that won't turn on, broken screen, iPad stuck on the Apple logo: photos, videos, contacts and documents recovered — bring your passcode. We check iCloud / Google backups first.

🔌 USB Flash Drives & SD Cards

USB key not recognized, broken connector, camera / drone / phone microSD showing "card empty" or "format required". Direct read of the memory chip.

📁 RAID, NAS & Servers

RAID 0/1/5/6/10, Synology and QNAP NAS, failed rebuilds, degraded arrays. Same-day intake for Quebec City and Lévis businesses, critical files copied first.

🔒 Deleted Files, Format & Ransomware

Accidental format, deleted files, lost partition, BitLocker with key, ransomware. As long as nothing was overwritten, most of it comes back.

Why a Local Lab in Quebec City Beats Shipping to Montreal

Most "Quebec City" data recovery listings are drop-off points for Montreal companies: your drive is boxed, shipped 250 km, and you wait for a quote from someone you'll never meet. At Informatique Ste-Foy the technician who diagnoses your drive is the one you talk to, in our own lab, ten minutes from Université Laval and the Quebec Bridge. You can bring the drive today, get the diagnostic in 24-48h, and pick up your data on a new drive — without your data ever leaving the city. Since 2014, 550 Google reviews, 4.7/5.

Frequently Asked Questions — Data Recovery Quebec City

How much does data recovery cost in Quebec City?
The diagnostic fee is $79 + tax, deducted from the final price if you approve the recovery. Logical recovery (deleted files, formatted drive, corrupted USB) typically runs $300–$900; physical recovery (clicking drive, dead heads, clean-room work) $500–$1,800; RAID and servers $1,000–$3,000+. You get a firm quote before any work starts, and you don't pay for the recovery if we can't recover your data.
How long does it take?
Logical cases: 24–48 business hours. Physical cases requiring clean-room work: 3–7 days. Business emergencies (server, NAS, accounting workstation) are handled the same day with critical files copied first.
My drive is clicking. What should I do?
Power it off now and do not run any recovery software. A clicking noise means the read heads are failing; every spin-up scrapes the platters and lowers the chances of recovery. Bring it to the lab as is.
Can you recover data from a Mac that got wet or won't turn on?
Yes. In most liquid-damage cases the storage is intact and the logic board is what failed. On Intel Macs we remove the drive or SSD; on Apple Silicon and soldered-SSD models we extract through recovery mode or a board-level transfer. Don't charge a wet Mac — corrosion continues while the battery powers the board.
Do you recover photos from an iPhone, Android phone or iPad?
Yes — photos, videos, contacts and documents, provided you know the device passcode (recent phones are encrypted by default). We check your iCloud or Google backups first, then extract from the device.
Can I mail my drive from outside Quebec City?
Yes. We receive drives by Purolator or Canada Post from anywhere in Canada. Pack the drive in a padded box, text us before shipping and we'll send instructions. Recovered data is returned on a new drive.
Is my data kept confidential?
Yes. Your drive is handled in our own lab at 979 av. de Bourgogne in Sainte-Foy — nothing is subcontracted or shipped elsewhere. Data is deleted from our systems after you confirm receipt.

Mail-In Data Recovery — Anywhere in Canada

Outside Quebec City? Ship your hard drive, SSD, USB drive, SD card or the whole computer by Purolator or Canada Post. Text us first — we send packing instructions and confirm receipt the day it arrives. Recovered data is returned on a new drive. Details on our mail-in service page.
