Furniture Water Damage

Water Damage Wood Furniture

Coming home to waterlogged belongings is a discovery no one wants to uncover. Unfortunately, water damage can happen at any time—and sometimes, it can cause irreversible damage to your most priceless possessions. Wood furniture is particularly susceptible to water damage, thanks to its hygroscopic nature.

Even though saving saturated wood may seem like a lost cause, it’s not impossible. Whether furniture water damage was caused by leaks or pipes the team at Same Day Restoration is ready to save your home and your furniture.

How to Restore Wood Furniture: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Dry the Furniture

You guessed it. The first step in restoring your furniture is to dry it. Remove it from the damage, and place it in a safe, dry area. You can speed up the drying process by utilizing fans or placing the items in direct sunlight.

Step 2: Use Extra Fixings

Make sure the furniture is completely dry. Once dried, inspect it for any problem areas. Add any nails, screws, brackets, or other fixings as needed.

Step 3: Sand the Wood

Use a belt sander or finishing sander to sand the furniture after it’s been dried. You can use both types of sanders if you’d like. This preps the wood for step four.

Step 4: Apply the Coating

Apply a coat of marine-based polyurethane coating to protect your furniture from water and light. You can also use this coating on tables and countertops.

Step 5: Treat Spots

White spots may pop up on the surface of your furniture. This happens as a result of contaminated water seeping through the wood. Treat these spots with a mixture of baking soda and toothpaste (yes, toothpaste).

Step 6: Remove All Mold

It’s crucial to get rid of mold as soon as you see it. Be sure to scrub the upper finish with a peroxide cleaning solution. Once you do this, apply a new finish. If the amount of mold is too severe, we urge you to call a professional.

Step 7: Fix the Veneer

If you find white spots or mold on your furniture, the veneer could collapse if water comes in contact with it. Soak the veneer with a moisturizer to flatten it out again, then fill it with veneer glue. You can do this by using a syringe. Place something heavy like books to make sure the veneer sticks to the glue.

Step 8: Call a Professional

If all else fails, call Same Day Restoration. We can save you the headache of furniture repair and restoration. Contact us online, or give us a ring at (866) 265-4607.

We woke up one morning to a few inches of water in our living room. Chris was sent out, and really helped us through a difficult time. Chris was generous with his knowledgeable advice on what to do when I was at a loss. He helped me navigate what to do when my insurance didn’t cover things as well. I was in a bad spot, and because of this company quickly sending someone out I feel much better about the situation. So grateful and would use again 10/10.

We had a pipe burst over the weekend at our restaurant. The damage was extensive and we were worried about having to be shut down. Fortunately we called the right team out. The crews were able to minimize damage by getting here so quickly. They made it clear their goal was to get us back and running as quick as possible. They worked long days and within 5 days they had us partially open and ready for business. This truly saved our business and we forever grateful to the help they provided.
