SERVPRO Helps Protect Your Belongings
When a storm brings flood damage to your home, one of the biggest concerns is how to rescue any water-damaged furniture. Unfortunately, it does not take long for water to seep into furniture and cause problems. Thankfully, SERVPRO is here to help.
If you are worried about flood damage in Great Falls, it is vital to call us immediately. Water can damage furniture in several ways:
- Wood can swell and warp as it absorbs moisture.
- Upholstery can be left with stains.
- There is a risk of wood cracking during drying.
- Wet wood and upholstery provide a breeding ground for microbes.
SERVPRO uses moisture meters, probes, and hygrometers to measure moisture and humidity while drying your flood damaged furniture. Proper readings mean we can tweak the drying process to suit the furniture and minimize the risk of cracking or permanent damage. We can also apply anti-microbial and odor eating treatments to restore furniture “Like it never even happened.”
