Storms and plumbing leaks can soak area rugs in minutes. Quick action helps prevent mold growth, bacteria, and dye bleeding that can permanently ruin a rug.
Bottom line: Protect your rugs from water damage—act fast to prevent mold, dye bleeding, and irreversible harm.
If your rug gets wet, remember these two scenarios
-
Rain or Pipe Leak Damage
If your rug is soaked from a roof or pipe leak, it should be picked up and restored immediately. Waiting increases the risk of mold, bacteria growth, and dye migration, which can render the rug unsalvageable. Our specialized wash process thoroughly sanitizes and restores affected rugs. -
Raw Sewage Contamination
If your rug has come into contact with raw sewage (e.g., septic overflow), it must be safely disposed of. For health and safety reasons, we cannot service sewage-contaminated rugs.

Important: Guidance here applies to area rugs only, not wall-to-wall carpet.
