Finding someone to restore flood and fire damaged furniture can be a challenge. Most of the time, furniture gets like this through house fires or sudden flooding, making it a stressful time. For some owners, they would rather toss these items due to it being “easier”, especially if it is cheap furniture pieces. However, for people who own antique furniture or sentimental pieces, throwing these items away is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, Foxwood Restoration is known for repairing flood and fire damaged furniture.
Depending on the type of furniture that has been exposed to the flood water, there will be various types of damage. If the furniture is made out of wood, you can expect to see physical damage such as swelling and warping, which can lead to breaking. In addition, the finish might become discolored and cloudy. Mold and mildew growth is also a common occurrence.
For upholstered furniture, you will see sagging in the upholstery and water stains from flood. It also will start emitting unpleasant odors. All of these problems can produce lasting damage if not taken care of soon.
Just like flood damage, there are various types of damage your furniture can face with fire. Most people will immediately think burn damage, which can lead to missing pieces and damage to veneer. However, there is other damage that you might not think about. Scorch mark can appear, leaving scars on the wood. You also have to deal with soot residue, which can permanently stain wood.
You can also expect charring, etching, tarnishing, and corroding. In addition, your furniture can have some water damage from fire extinguishing measures, leading to more problems!
