Fast action can prevent potential mold growth, stains, and odors from impacting Falmouth homes without the exorbitant restoration costs.

SERVPRO water damage restoration technicians in Falmouth use extensive training and sophisticated technologies to address home water damage 24 hours a day. The team’s comprehensive water mitigation response includes necessary structural material repairs and furniture restoration when needed.

Treating Wet Furniture to Prevent Spots, Stains, and Mold

SERVPRO water restoration technicians observe restoration industry best practices to address wet furniture depending on the materials’ condition and makeup. These strategies include:

• Gently wet the surface of a piece of fabric-covered furniture before drying to prevent water spots and seams from wet stains.
• Pre-treatment with EPA-registered, OSHA-approved antimicrobial solutions
• Hot water extraction with portable or truck-mounted units that can deploy biocides or detergents compatible with the fibers being treated
• Tenting cushions and pillows for drying with air movers and dehumidifiers and accelerating the process by erecting polyethylene drying chambers
• Deodorizing furniture with injection solutions, sponge treatments, and wet fogging, among other odor control solutions. Sanitation also addresses odor-causing microbes.

SERVPRO restoration technicians can also perform furniture refinishing and staining for wood components and treat carpet affected by stains before they set and permanently discolor carpet fibers. Antiques and other pieces that require specialized care can be referred to licensed professionals as needed.
