Water Damage Furniture Repair FAQs
Can all water-damaged furniture be saved?
Most furniture can be saved if treated promptly. However, severely damaged pieces with extensive rot, mold penetration, or complete structural failure may not be salvageable. Our expert assessment will determine if repair is possible and cost-effective.
Should I try to dry water-damaged furniture myself?
No. Rapid drying causes wood to crack and warp further. Professional controlled drying is essential. If you must do something immediately, gently blot excess water and place furniture in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight.
Will water rings disappear completely?
Yes! White water rings (trapped moisture) usually disappear completely with proper treatment. Dark water stains that have penetrated deep into wood may require color matching, but we can restore the piece to look like new.
How much does water damage furniture repair cost?
Costs vary: Minor water rings R600-R1,500, Moderate damage R1,500-R4,000, Severe damage R3,000-R7,500. We provide free assessments and detailed quotes before any work begins.
