Water damage on wood? Is it flooring, ceiling, furniture? Each treated differently. Ask in a sentence or two what you hope to do.

Janice · Answer

Is the water damage on a piece of furniture or a door, or what? You might be able to sand the wood down well and then restain or repaint.

Hello Kat,

Where is it, is it a structural area?

Can you post a photo?

For small areas that were non structural- Ive used the Oatey putty stick.

Other times we have chiseled out the defective damaged wood and a replacement was placed primed caulked and painted.
