Protecting Furniture from Water Damage

When natural disasters strike, it is extremely important to be prepared. That is why SERVPRO of Leavenworth and NW Wyandotte County is open 24/7 and 365. And although we are always here to help, there are some things you can do between the time you call us and the time we arrive. One important thing you can do is take steps to protect valuable furniture when you experience light flooding or a small water loss in your home. See our tips below!

Use wooden blocks: Place wood blocks under your furniture legs to keep it high above rising waters

Use aluminum foil: wrap wooden furniture legs in aluminum foil to protect them from rising water

Use plastic container lids: If the water damage is minimal you can put old plastic container lids or tupperware lids as a barrier between the water and your furniture
