Morris Plains Homeowners Are Concerned About Belongings After Flood Damage.

Residents of Morris Plains know that it takes time and effort to get your home looking as you would like. Your décor choices and the furniture you buy express your personality and make your house feel homely and welcoming. You might even have antiques or family heirlooms among your furnishings.

It is normal to be worried about your furniture after flood damage in Morris Plains. It is costly to replace your belongings, and you are attached to them.

What does flood damage do to furniture?

Unfortunately, flood damage can wreak havoc on furniture:

• Wood can warp and buckle
• Upholstery gets stained
• Cushions, comforters, and blankets become waterlogged
• Metal surfaces can rust if left untreated
• Damp conditions mean mold might grow on chairs, sofas, cabinets, and tables

Can I save my belongings?

There is not an exact straightforward answer to that question. Whether we can salvage your belongings depends on:

• How close to the flood they were
• Whether the water contained potential microbes or hazards
• The extent of the damage
• How delicate the material is
• How quickly we were able to take action

You can trust our technicians to give you an honest assessment of what is salvageable, what is not salvageable, and the next best steps for us to take.

How can SERVPRO help?

Our priority is to secure your home and remove floodwater. After that, we turn our attention to cleaning and restoring your home and belongings, and throwing out what we cannot save.

For example, we can use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry under and around chairs and sofa cushions. We can dry out wooden tables and cabinets, and apply antimicrobial treatments. Drying is an essential part of flood damage remediation, as it helps prevent microbial growth.

We also have spot cleaning solutions available to tackle stains on more delicate items.

We also use air scrubbers, charcoal filters, and odor-fighting cleaning solutions to leave your possessions smelling fresh - “Like it never even happened.”

If you are concerned about your furniture after flood damage, do not delay. Call SERVPRO of East Central Morris County at (973) 887-9100.
