Specialty cleanup
New York
Our hands-on restoration team extracts water from upholstered furniture and cushions, then uses controlled drying to reduce staining, odor, and hidden moisture.
Signs to keep an eye out for
Before we get to work, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Once we are on the job site, cushion foam holds enormous amounts of water and releases it under pressure. In plain words, that is a good sign, since foam that gives water back can as a rule be extracted.
Before we get to work, fabric pulls water up out of the floor by wicking, which is why a piece can be soaked six inches up.
In plain words, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. Once we are on the job site, once a dye has moved it as a rule stays moved.
To straighten this out, that is browning, natural material in the fabric or the filling coming to the surface as it dries.
Once we are on the job site, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet. Before we get to work, movement in the frame as a rule ends the conversation about saving that piece.
Once we are on the job site, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.
What happens
Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Before we get to work, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance. To straighten this out, appliance or drain water is frequently restorable too, and synthetic covered pieces are commonly cleaned once the filling has been extracted.
To straighten this out, a kiln dried hardwood frame with sound frame joinery is worth drying and frequently worth a lot.
Before we get to work, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers right away. Once we are on the job site, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the fabric all night.
Before we get to work, a hand held upholstery tool with a narrow slot pulls water from the fabric and the foam under it.
To straighten this out, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.
Once we are on the job site, pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

What to expect
Here is how we as a rule handle upholstery extraction near New York.
To straighten this out, name the pieces, the water source, and anything that is irreplaceable to your family.
Your callIn plain words, block furniture up on anything waterproof you have, or move light pieces to a dry room.
+5 minutesBefore we get to work, a technician checks the frame, the filling and the fabric on each item and takes moisture meter readings.
On arrivalIn plain words, every saveable piece is worked with slow compressed passes until it stops giving water.
First hours on siteTo straighten this out, furniture goes on a drying rack and equipment is set so air reaches the underside and the frame.
Day 1Before we get to work, marks are treated during drying, which is the only time most of them respond.
Day 1 to 2In plain words, the fabric dries first and lies to you, so we read the filling and the frame.
Day 2 to 4Understanding the cost
We spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Upholstery or mattress extraction, per item | National price breakdown for clean water only. 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 | National price breakdown including transport, wash floor work and drying room time. Used for heavy soil and delicate goods. | $200 to $700 |
| Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square foot | National price breakdown for off site rug work. Wool and hand knotted rugs sit at the top of the range. | $3 to $8 |

Size and construction of the piece
A dining chair takes minutes and a sectional takes hours. Tight upholstered backs and non removable cushions add time since air has fewer ways in.
Filling type
To straighten this out, high resiliency foam extracts and dries predictably.
Fabric type
Once we are on the job site, microfiber and synthetic weaves tolerate cleaning well.
Water cleanliness

On site versus off site

Number of items
Once we are on the job site, crews price a room of soft goods more efficiently than one chair at a time.
