iMac files recovery

Hi. My fathers iMac was destroyed in a fire. Is there a way that files can be recovered from the hard drive?

there were lots of documents stored on it that I fear we have now lost

he wasn’t backing it up to iCloud.

thanks

Restoring Files from an iMac that had a reset. How can you restore (all) files that have been erased on a Mac that had a factory reset without Time Machine or any other drives? Hi. I had a crisis with my iMac. I reset it and want to restore my files. I had to reset it because there was no way to get out of the frozen restart screen. I do have a backup drive, but my drive didn't completely store all the files, and lost my important (big) files. The files are really important. The drive just kept my ZIP files. I still think there's a way to dig out all the lost files in the hard drive. If you know how, please tell me. Thanks.

CAN I RESTORE FILES FROM FORMATTED MAC PRO 13 hello, my laptop got stolen and somehow I recuperated it as it was found on the street. apparently the people who stole it re-formatted it and deleted all my files. the company I work for does back up for emails, and files on our company servers. but all the files on my desktop have been deleted. also unfortunately my iCloud storage has been full since a few months back and I couldn't back up on iCloud. I am inquiring if I can retrieve my lost files in any way possible. thanks

To recover files from a physically damaged fire you'll have to use a professional recovery service. It won’t be cheap.
