How Your Furniture Can Be Saved After a Flood
Floods bring with them a plethora of concerns and problems. Fixing the cause of the flood can sometimes be just as involved as dealing with the water damage repairs and furniture restoration. While plumbers, roofers or other specialists may need to be called in to make sure the problem doesn’t happen again, water damage specialists can restore furniture that has been exposed to flood water.
If your home has recently experienced a flood and you live in Seattle, contact Allied Restoration Company today at 425-458-5756. We can dry and restore various types of furniture that have been submerged in or exposed to water.
Mattresses and Couches
Depending on how much water damage has occurred from the flood and the length of time it was left unattended, mattresses and couches can be the hardest to recover—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. While no technician can work miracles, with timely and efficient response, furniture restoration services should be able to salvage soaked mattresses, upholstered furniture and couches. Mattresses and couches, however, do require special and immediate attention, as the EPA suggests, since they pose the greatest risk of mold growth when they’re soaked.
Wood Furniture
As About.com reports, wood furniture is much more resilient than upholstered furniture. Unless the damage is particularly extreme or the wood has been allowed to soak for long amounts of time, furniture restoration services can successfully restore wooden surfaces and finishes. Even antiques can be fully restored. While the restoration services are always best left to professionals, homeowners can help minimize the amount of damage by moving the wet furniture to a safe and dry area where it will no longer be exposed to water.
Metal Furniture
Metal furniture, such as chairs, certain types of tables, desks and other appliances, risk becoming rusted after exposure to water. While there’s no threat of mold, rust can reduce a once beautiful piece of furniture into garbage. Sometimes, metal used in the construction of wooden furniture is also at serious risk.
Depending on how long the furniture has been exposed, water damage restoration services will usually be able to stop any further rust from developing while cleaning up existing rust, thus returning the object to its former beauty.
