Signs to look for
When to call us for upholstery extraction
We keep the field plan clear: 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
We keep the field plan clear: 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
For a prepared response, we focus on this: Dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet.
Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric
Before equipment is placed, we consider this: 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
For a prepared response, we focus on this: A particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet.
The webbing under the seat is sagging
From the first assessment, we look at this: Wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
How we handle upholstery extraction
Our response crew adjusts the work to the rooms and materials exposed to water, where the water reached, and the materials that can be saved.
Piece by piece triage against the water category
To keep the work focused, we start here: Clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.
The frame assessment that decides everything
Our response crew uses a practical rule: A kiln dried hardwood frame with sound frame joinery is worth drying and commonly worth a lot.
Getting furniture up and off the wet floor
To keep the work focused, we start here: Every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately.
Extraction with an upholstery tool
We keep the field plan clear: 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
For your property, the useful point is this: Cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow
Our field notes give this point special attention: Pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

Day 1 to 2 -

Readings on the foam and the frame, not the surface
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: The fabric dries first and lies to you, so we read the filling and the frame.
Day 2 to 4
Understanding the cost
What can affect the price

|---|---|---|
| Upholstery or mattress extraction, per item | As we organize the work, we account for this: National estimate for clean water only. | $75 to $300 |

| Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square foot | For a prepared response, we focus on this: National estimate for off site rug work. | $3 to $8 |
| Soft goods in one room, several pieces extracted and rack dried | During the response, we work from this fact: National estimate covering a typical living room set, before any cleaning, foam replacement or repairs. | $400 to $1,200 |
| Cushion foam replacement, per cushion | Our response crew uses a practical rule: National estimate for new foam cut to the existing cover. | $50 to $200 |
| Mattress and box spring set, clean water surface wetting only | To keep the work focused, we start here: National estimate for extraction and drying attempt. | $100 to $300 |

Our technicians plan around this detail: A dining chair takes minutes and a sectional takes hours.Filling type
For your property, the useful point is this: High resiliency foam extracts and dries predictably.Fabric type
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: Microfiber and synthetic weaves tolerate cleaning well.Water cleanliness
To keep the work focused, we start here: Clean water means extraction and cleaning.On site versus off site
For a prepared response, we focus on this: On site extraction and rack drying is the cheaper path and keeps your furniture at home.Number of items
Our response crew uses a practical rule: Crews price a room of soft goods more efficiently than one chair at a time.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Our field notes give this point special attention: Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Wicking pulls water up the whole piece
Our response crew uses a practical rule: A sofa with legs in water keeps drawing moisture up through the fabric and the frame.
Dye bleed sets permanently
Before equipment is placed, we consider this: Wet dye travels between panels, onto piping and into your flooring.
Browning marks light fabric for good
We keep the field plan clear: Natural material in the filling and the backing moves to the surface as a piece dries slowly.
Particleboard frames swell and lose their fasteners
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: Engineered panel frames are held with staples and dowels into material that puffs when wet.

For your property, the useful point is this: Cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack.
