Signs to look for

When to call us for upholstery extraction

Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The cushions are heavy and water comes out when pressed

After you describe the problem, cushion foam holds enormous amounts of water and releases it under pressure.

The skirt or the base is dark and wicking upward

Room by room, 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 help your home recover, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet.

Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric

For a practical next step, 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

After you describe the problem, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet.

The webbing under the seat is sagging

After you describe the problem, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.

What happens

How we handle upholstery extraction

Our home 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

Room by room, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.

The frame room-by-room review that decides everything

To help your home recover, 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

Room by room, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately. After you describe the problem, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the fabric all night.

Extraction with an upholstery tool

Room by room, 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 practical next step, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.

Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow

After you describe the problem, 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

Room by room, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. Room by room, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Upholstery or mattress extraction, per item	For a practical next step, national estimate for clean water only. To help your home recover, 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	After you describe the problem, national estimate including transport, wash floor work and drying room time. To help your home recover, used for heavy soil and delicate goods.	$200 to $700
Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square foot	To help your home recover, national estimate for off site rug work.	$3 to $8
Soft goods in one room, several pieces extracted and rack dried	To help your home recover, national estimate covering a typical living room set, before any cleaning, foam replacement or repairs.	$400 to $1,200
Cushion foam replacement, per cushion	After you describe the problem, national estimate for new foam cut to the existing cover. To help your home recover, far cheaper than replacing a sound frame.	$50 to $200
Mattress and box spring set, clean water surface wetting only	For a practical next step, national estimate for extraction and drying attempt. For a practical next step, anything wet deep into the layers is normally replaced instead.	$100 to $300

Size and construction of the piece
For a practical next step, a dining chair takes minutes and a sectional takes hours.
Filling type
For a practical next step, high resiliency foam extracts and dries predictably.
Fabric type
After you describe the problem, microfiber and synthetic weaves tolerate cleaning well. Room by room, velvet, silk blends and leather need gentler methods and more careful drying.
Water cleanliness
Room by room, clean water means extraction and cleaning. For a practical next step, appliance or drain water adds a cleaning stage, and synthetic covered pieces usually come through it.
On site versus off site
To help your home recover, on site extraction and rack drying is the cheaper path and keeps your furniture at home.
Number of items
After you describe the problem, crews price a room of soft goods more efficiently than one chair at a time.

Wicking pulls water up the whole piece

Dye bleed sets permanently

Browning marks light fabric for good

For a practical next step, natural material in the filling and the backing moves to the surface as a piece dries slowly.

Particleboard frames swell and lose their fasteners

To help your home recover, engineered panel frames are held with staples and dowels into material that puffs when wet.

Common questions

Questions about upholstery extraction

Can a soaked couch be saved?

Room by room, often yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day.

How do you decide what is worth saving?

To help your home recover, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric. To help your home recover, a good frame justifies drying, foam can be replaced, and fabric can usually be cleaned.

Why does furniture get put up on blocks?

Room by room, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the frame and fabric. Room by room, 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?

Room by room, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides.

How long does upholstery drying take?

Room by room, cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack. After you describe the problem, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.

What about a mattress that got wet?

Room by room, light surface wetting from clean water can sometimes be extracted and dried. For a practical next step, water deeper than about an inch into the layers usually means replacement.

Should the work happen at my house or off site?

Room by room, on site extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you. Room by room, an off site cleaning plant is better for heavy soil, delicate fabrics and area rug immersion washing.
