Signs to look for
When to call us for upholstery extraction
For a clear turnaround, 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 clear turnaround, 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
As the property moves toward recovery, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet.
Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric
Along the recovery roadmap, 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
With each visible step, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet. Along the recovery roadmap, movement in the frame usually ends the conversation about saving that piece.
The webbing under the seat is sagging
With each visible step, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
How we handle upholstery extraction
Our recovery crew 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 clear turnaround, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.
The frame recovery review that decides everything
As the property moves toward recovery, 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 clear turnaround, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately. With each visible step, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the fabric all night.
Extraction with an upholstery tool
For a clear turnaround, 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
Along the recovery roadmap, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow
With each visible step, pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

Extraction with the upholstery tool
As the property moves toward recovery, every saveable piece is worked with slow compressed passes until it stops giving water.
First hours on site -
5
Pieces up on racks, air on all sides
Along the recovery roadmap, furniture goes on a drying rack and equipment is set so air reaches the underside and the frame.
Day 1 -
6
Dye and browning treatment while the fabric is wet
For a clear turnaround, marks are treated during drying, which is the only time most of them respond.
Day 1 to 2 -
7
Readings on the foam and the frame, not the surface

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
For a clear turnaround, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a clear turnaround, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Upholstery or mattress extraction, per item | Along the recovery roadmap, national estimate for clean water only. As the property moves toward recovery, 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 | With each visible step, national estimate including transport, wash floor work and drying room time. As the property moves toward recovery, used for heavy soil and delicate goods. | $200 to $700 |
| Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square foot | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate for off site rug work. | $3 to $8 |
| Soft goods in one room, several pieces extracted and rack dried | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate covering a typical living room set, before any cleaning, foam replacement or repairs. | $400 to $1,200 |
| Cushion foam replacement, per cushion | With each visible step, national estimate for new foam cut to the existing cover. As the property moves toward recovery, far cheaper than replacing a sound frame. | $50 to $200 |
| Mattress and box spring set, clean water surface wetting only | Along the recovery roadmap, national estimate for extraction and drying attempt. Along the recovery roadmap, anything wet deep into the layers is normally replaced instead. | $100 to $300 |

Along the recovery roadmap, a dining chair takes minutes and a sectional takes hours.Filling type

Questions about upholstery extraction
Can a soaked couch be saved?
For a clear turnaround, often yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day.
How do you decide what is worth saving?
As the property moves toward recovery, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric.
Why does furniture get put up on blocks?
For a clear turnaround, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the frame and fabric. For a clear turnaround, 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?
For a clear turnaround, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides.
How long does upholstery drying take?
For a clear turnaround, cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack. With each visible step, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.
What about a mattress that got wet?
For a clear turnaround, light surface wetting from clean water can sometimes be extracted and dried. Along the recovery roadmap, water deeper than about an inch into the layers usually means replacement.
Should the work happen at my house or off site?
For a clear turnaround, on site extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you.
