Water Damage Restoration for Garments | OHM Garment Restoration Plymouth MI

Slab leaks often result from broken pipes under concrete foundations, releasing water that saturates carpets, baseboards, and lower cabinets. This moisture wicks up into clothing stored in nearby closets or drawers, causing staining, swelling, and potential mold growth. The standing water can also create humidity that leads to mildew on fabrics.

Signs include visible wetness, dark or discolored patches, a musty odor, and a spongy feel underfoot. In severe cases, you may notice delamination (separation of backing) or mold growth along edges. Prompt professional intervention prevents permanent damage and health risks.

We first assess the extent of water damage and categorize items by fabric type. For garments, we use specialized dry cleaning and stain extraction methods to remove waterborne contaminants and prevent shrinkage. Upholstery undergoes deep cleaning with hot water extraction and anti-microbial treatments to eliminate odors and inhibit mold. All items are dried thoroughly in a controlled environment to restore their original condition.
