Assessing the Damage After a Flood

After clearing out the standing water remaining from a flood, it is important to assess the damage of your furniture and equipment. Floodwater can leave varying degrees of damage to furniture that can easily increase in severity in a matter of days.assess flood damage

The water damage will vary based on the material that the furniture is made of. Wood may warp and/or crack after coming into contact with a large amount of water. Veneered furniture, which is typically made of materials such as plywood, particleboard, or medium-density fiberboard, will swell when it comes into contact with water. The end result for veneer furniture being ripped seams and damaged structures. Furniture with vinyl or low-pressure laminates will come unglued after sustaining water damage. The finish of your furniture may change as staining occurs. Finally, your furniture may change in appearance and structure including color warping and loose joints.

When your furniture is damaged after a flood, you must assess if it’s worth restoring. Take a look at the extent of the damage, cost of restoration, and cost of the piece. If you have decided that the furniture is not worth restoring, then it is time to start the process of refurnishing after a flood.
