Signs to look for
When to call us for upholstery extraction
With damage contained, 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
With damage contained, 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
To protect the property, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. To protect the property, once a dye has moved it usually stays moved.
Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric
Before materials deteriorate further, 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 our controlled response continues, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet.
The webbing under the seat is sagging
As our controlled response continues, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
How we handle upholstery extraction
Our property-protection 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
With damage contained, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.
The frame property check that decides everything
To protect the property, 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
With damage contained, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately. As our controlled response continues, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the fabric all night.
Extraction with an upholstery tool
With damage contained, 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
Before materials deteriorate further, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow
As our controlled response continues, pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
With damage contained, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With damage contained, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Upholstery or mattress extraction, per item | Before materials deteriorate further, national estimate for clean water only. To protect the property, items soaked with contaminated water are removed rather than extracted. | $75 to $300 |
| Off site cleaning and controlled drying at a plant, per upholstered piece | As our controlled response continues, national estimate including transport, wash floor work and drying room time. To protect the property, used for heavy soil and delicate goods. | $200 to $700 |
| Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square foot | To protect the property, national estimate for off site rug work. Before materials deteriorate further, wool and hand knotted rugs sit at the top of the range. | $3 to $8 |

Common questions
Questions about upholstery extraction
Can a soaked couch be saved?
With damage contained, often yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day.
How do you decide what is worth saving?
To protect the property, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric. To protect the property, a good frame justifies drying, foam can be replaced, and fabric can usually be cleaned.
Why does furniture get put up on blocks?
With damage contained, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the frame and fabric. With damage contained, blocking also stops metal feet rusting and wood legs bleeding stain into your floor.
Can wet cushion foam be dried, or does it need replacing?
With damage contained, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides.
How long does upholstery drying take?
With damage contained, cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack. As our controlled response continues, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.
What about a mattress that got wet?
With damage contained, light surface wetting from clean water can sometimes be extracted and dried. Before materials deteriorate further, water deeper than about an inch into the layers usually means replacement.
Should the work happen at my house or off site?
With damage contained, on site extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you. With damage contained, an off site cleaning plant is better for heavy soil, delicate fabrics and area rug immersion washing.
