SERVPRO Handles Any Water Damage in Agoura Properties
Water damage in Agoura homes is inevitable and can be very destructive. Aside from structural damage, it may also destroy furniture. Dealing with water-related damage to furniture can be frustrating. Wood, fabric, and leather respond differently to water damage. When moisture affects upholstered furniture, time is crucial. If the furnishings are allowed to air dry without proper mitigation, you may encounter issues.
Water restoration on your Agoura property may seem daunting, but bringing your upholstered furniture to life with knowledge and effort is possible. With the expertise, equipment, and tools needed for restoration, SERVPRO professionals can save you both time and money.
Problems When Moisture Affects Upholstery
- Bad odor
- Staining
- Swelling
When exposed to water for too long, the fabric on upholstered furniture can become moldy. The foam inside the cushions holds water and may start to smell bad. Also, since the framing is usually wood, it is subjected to cracking and swelling. The swelling may cause weakening of the framing joint. The water also causes the glue to break down, leading to severe damage.
How to Restore Water Damaged Couches
The best way to save wet furniture is to remove moisture as fast as possible. A wet vacuum can help suck up some of the water and remove dirt and other debris from the furnishings. Once the water is gone, our team can proceed with other restoration processes.
Other Crucial Restoration Steps Include:
- Tenting cushions to facilitate air movement and prevent bleeding
- Drying and padding around metal buttons prevents rust transfer
- Using dehumidifiers and air movers for drying
