We can Save Your Furniture from Permanent Water Damage in Grand Junction
When your Grand Junction home's roof leaks, we make the mess go away, “Like it never even happened.” Leaks fro overhead can make ceilings unsafe if they trap water. Softened ceilings can sag down and hold more and more water with each rainy shower. Stains may or may not appear during such changes to your home's structure, although they are prevalent with slow leaks that continue for months.
When a leak comes through the light fixture in the center of a room's ceiling in your Grand Junction home, the spread of water damage becomes imminent. Furniture below can become saturated with the rain that passes through your home's upper levels and into your living space. Many times, we find this water creates discoloration and staining of household textiles.
Foam cushions and pillows easily retain water and can exhibit stains wherever water leaks out the lowest areas of these items. We can launder smaller items while tenting larger cushions allows currents from our air movers to dry them on all sides. We use in-house cleansers to remove water stains, which restores them beautifully. Brushes can also remove pet hair and plump up the pile on many fabrics.
When the rain passes through a ceiling but leaves it intact, we need to get the area overhead dry again and as quickly as possible. We can insert an Injectidry hose into the lighting fixture's hole after we shut off the power to the area and force air into the cavity this way. A bucket below holds any water draining off while we work on other aspects of water damage mitigation.
If portions of the ceiling do fall in on your furniture, we remove these pieces and pull out the rest of the affected ceiling. Pieces that fall onto wet furniture also leave dampened dust and pieces of paper and flaked paint. We remove larger debris and gently vacuum the rest. As it dries further, we again brush and vacuum now-dry dust from the surfaces. We give extra attention to recessed areas along seams and where fabric gathers near corners.
