Signs to look for
When to call us for upholstery extraction
For a professional recovery, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The skirt or the base is dark and wicking upward
For a professional recovery, fabric pulls water up out of the floor by wicking, which is why a piece can be soaked six inches up.
Color has transferred onto the carpet or between panels
Through an organized response, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. Through an organized response, once a dye has moved it usually stays moved.
Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric
With a durable result in mind, that is browning, natural material in the fabric or the filling coming to the surface as it dries.
The frame flexes or creaks under normal weight
As each stage is completed, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet.
The webbing under the seat is sagging
As each stage is completed, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
How we handle upholstery extraction
Our professional recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Piece by piece triage against the water category
For a professional recovery, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.
The frame organized review that decides everything
Through an organized response, a kiln dried hardwood frame with sound frame joinery is worth drying and often worth a lot.
Getting furniture up and off the wet floor
For a professional recovery, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately.
Extraction with an upholstery tool
For a professional recovery, a hand held upholstery tool with a narrow slot pulls water from the fabric and the foam under it.
Cushions unzipped, extracted and dried separately
With a durable result in mind, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow
As each stage is completed, pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

Why does furniture get put up on blocks?
