Signs to look for

When to call us for upholstery extraction

As we protect the property, 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

From the first walkthrough, cushion foam holds enormous amounts of water and releases it under pressure.

The skirt or the base is dark and wicking upward

As we protect the property, 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

With steady care, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. With steady care, once a dye has moved it usually stays moved.

Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric

For dependable recovery, 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

From the first walkthrough, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet. For dependable recovery, movement in the frame usually ends the conversation about saving that piece.

The webbing under the seat is sagging

From the first walkthrough, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.

What happens

How we handle upholstery extraction

Our steady-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

As we protect the property, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.

The frame walkthrough that decides everything

With steady care, 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 we protect the property, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers immediately.

Extraction with an upholstery tool

As we protect the property, 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 dependable recovery, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.

Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow

From the first walkthrough, 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 we protect the property, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As we protect the property, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Upholstery or mattress extraction, per itemFor dependable recovery, national estimate for clean water only. With steady care, items soaked with contaminated water are removed rather than extracted.$75 to $300

    As we protect the property, clean water means extraction and cleaning. For dependable recovery, appliance or drain water adds a cleaning stage, and synthetic covered pieces usually come through it.

  • On site versus off site
    With steady care, on site extraction and rack drying is the cheaper path and keeps your furniture at home.

  • Number of items
    From the first walkthrough, crews price a room of soft goods more efficiently than one chair at a time.

Common questions

Questions about upholstery extraction

Can a soaked couch be saved?

As we protect the property, often yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day.

How do you decide what is worth saving?

With steady care, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric. With steady care, a good frame justifies drying, foam can be replaced, and fabric can usually be cleaned.

Why does furniture get put up on blocks?

As we protect the property, 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 we protect the property, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides.

How long does upholstery drying take?

As we protect the property, cushioned pieces commonly need two to four days on a drying rack. From the first walkthrough, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.

What about a mattress that got wet?

As we protect the property, light surface wetting from clean water can sometimes be extracted and dried. For dependable recovery, water deeper than about an inch into the layers usually means replacement.

Should the work happen at my house or off site?

As we protect the property, on site extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you.
