Signs to look for
When to call us for upholstery extraction
As the home starts over, 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
As the home starts over, 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 clean slate, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. For a clean slate, once a dye has moved it usually stays moved.
Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric
On the way back to normal, 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
To put this behind you, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet.
The webbing under the seat is sagging
To put this behind you, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
How we work through upholstery extraction
Our fresh-start team adjusts the work to what ended up wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Piece by piece triage against the water category
As the home starts over, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance. For a clean slate, appliance or drain water is often restorable too, and synthetic covered pieces are commonly cleaned once the filling has been extracted.
The frame assessment that decides everything
For a clean slate, 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
As the home starts over, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately.
Extraction with an upholstery tool
As the home starts over, 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
On the way back to normal, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow
To put this behind you, 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
As the home starts over, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the home starts over, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Upholstery or mattress extraction, per item | National estimate for clean water only. Items soaked with contaminated water are cleared out instead of extracted. | $75 to $300 |
| Off site cleaning and controlled drying at a plant, per upholstered piece | To put this behind you, national estimate including transport, wash floor work and drying room time. For a clean slate, used for heavy soil and delicate goods. | $200 to $700 |
| Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square foot | For a clean slate, national estimate for off site rug work. | $3 to $8 |
| Soft goods in one room, several pieces extracted and rack dried | For a clean slate, national estimate covering a typical living room set, before any cleaning, foam replacement or repairs. | $400 to $1,200 |
| Cushion foam replacement, per cushion | To put this behind you, national estimate for new foam cut to the existing cover. For a clean slate, far cheaper than replacing a sound frame. | $50 to $200 |
| Mattress and box spring set, clean water surface wetting only | On the way back to normal, national estimate for extraction and drying attempt. | $100 to $300 |

Particleboard frames swell and lose their fasteners
For a clean slate, engineered panel frames are held with staples and dowels into material that puffs when wet.

Questions about upholstery extraction
Can a soaked couch be saved?
As the home starts over, often yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day.
How do you decide what is worth saving?
For a clean slate, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric. For a clean slate, a good frame justifies drying, foam can be replaced, and fabric can usually be cleaned.
Why does furniture get put up on blocks?
As the home starts over, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the frame and fabric.
Can wet cushion foam be dried, or does it need replacing?
As the home starts over, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides.
How long does upholstery drying take?
As the home starts over, cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack. To put this behind you, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.
What about a mattress that got wet?
For a clean slate, light surface wetting from clean water can occasionally be extracted and dried. On the way back to normal, water deeper than about an inch into the layers usually means replacement.
Should the work happen at my house or off site?
As the home starts over, on site extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you.
