Successful Furniture Restoration after Flood Damage

The degree of water damage to your furniture can vary depending on the type and how long it’s been exposed to water. Our crews look for signs of swelling, warping, spotting, color bleeding, or mold, especially in wooden or upholstered items. We remove the furniture from the flood zone and place it in a dry, well-ventilated area. If possible, we elevate the furniture to avoid further water exposure.

Drying measures for upholstery 

• Drying buttons and zippers to avoid rusting
• Tenting the cushions and placing air movers and dehumidifiers
• Extracting moisture with an upholstery tool
