Call SERVPRO to Mitigate Water damage to Furniture in Your San Antonio Home

Leaks are typical in homes. Over time, pipes can degrade and rust away, hoses can be worn out, and faucets can break. Unfortunately, leaks can damage your prized furniture and upholstery. Symptoms of water damage include the swelling of furniture, the staining of upholstery, and color bleeding. To help prevent extensive damage, you should contact the professionals at SERVPRO. 

Furniture, especially non-laminated furniture, is easily damaged when exposed to water, which is why our technicians can act quickly to help prevent water damage from occurring in your San Antonio home. Once exposed to water, your favorite wood table or wood dresser can quickly become scrap wood. Non-laminated furniture absorbs water and begins swelling, causing cracks and warping. As a result, framing joints may weaken, and the furniture becomes at risk of breaking apart. Technicians from SERVPRO can help you prevent such situations through their experience in rapidly mitigating leaks and drying furniture. 

We can plug the source of leakage in your home, and then remove water stains on your furniture through wetting to avoid water lines. In more severe cases where your furniture may be physically damaged, a furniture furnisher may be needed to discuss whether it is worth repairing. Couches and other furnishings with upholstery often need additional work to preserve to upholstery. 

Fortunately, SERVPRO professionals can also perform upholstery drying services if needed. We can carefully extract pieces of upholstery and separate zippers from cloth with wax paper to reduce the spread of rust. Spongier pieces of upholstery like cushions can be rapidly dried with air movers and dehumidifiers to help prevent the growth of mildew. 

We understand the importance of preserving your precious furnishings, and we can help you quickly and efficiently get started on reducing water damage to your furniture. You can reach our SERVPRO of Braun Station team at (210) 267-2159. We are available 24/7 to be ready for any emergency.
