Signs to look for
When to call us for upholstery extraction
With local guidance, 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 local guidance, 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
From your first call, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. From your first call, once a dye has moved it usually stays moved.
Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric
For a clear next step close to home, 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 your nearby response team helps, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet.
The webbing under the seat is sagging
As your nearby response team helps, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
How we handle upholstery extraction
Our neighborhood response 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 local guidance, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.
The frame local review that decides everything
From your first call, 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 local guidance, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately.
Extraction with an upholstery tool
With local guidance, 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 a clear next step close to home, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow
As your nearby response team helps, pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

Questions about upholstery extraction
Can a soaked couch be saved?
With local guidance, often yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day.
How do you decide what is worth saving?
From your first call, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric. From your first call, a good frame justifies drying, foam can be replaced, and fabric can usually be cleaned.
Why does furniture get put up on blocks?
With local guidance, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the frame and fabric. With local guidance, 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 local guidance, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides.
How long does upholstery drying take?
With local guidance, cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack. As your nearby response team helps, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.
What about a mattress that got wet?
With local guidance, light surface wetting from clean water can sometimes be extracted and dried. For a clear next step close to home, water deeper than about an inch into the layers usually means replacement.
Should the work happen at my house or off site?
With local guidance, on site extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you. With local guidance, an off site cleaning plant is better for heavy soil, delicate fabrics and area rug immersion washing.
