Short answer
Yes, it is definitely possible. Steam is water and heat, so as long as the platters inside are not damaged there is a very good chance we can repair the drives temporarily. A melted circuit board is usually an easy fix. If there is internal corrosion, we can transplant and clean the platters and rebuild the drive in a new chassis. For insurance, we can provide a quote or letter first. Do not wait, because corrosion can worsen.
It is definitely possible. Steam is water and heat, so generally, as long as the disk platters inside are not damaged, there is a very good chance we can temporarily repair the drives, whatever is wrong with them. It might involve repairing the PCB, as the PCB or the plastic connections may be melted, which is a circuit board; it should be a relatively easy fix for us. We can recover all the data, and it will not be too expensive or slow. We can do it quickly. If the drive has internal damage, for instance, if the steam contained other substances that caused corrosion inside the drive, we can transplant the platters. We can clean the platters using distilled water and other chemicals like alcohol and 3M Novec spray, then rebuild the entire drive in a new chassis, including a new PCB and all components, to recover the data. Given that there are several drives, we can also offer a discount, and since it is for insurance purposes, we can provide a quote or a letter explaining the issues before proceeding. If you have insurance coverage for it, there is a good chance we can assist. Therefore, I recommend bringing it to us as soon as possible; do not wait, as corrosion may occur or worsen if you delay too long.
