RUG WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

MIAMI AREA RUG WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

Water damage is by far one of the most challenging restoration projects when it comes to antique and hand-knotted rugs. Because of the delicacy of the hand threaded designs and the organic decomposition of natural dyes, it can threaten the strength of your rugs and make it more vulnerable to rips, tears, holes, and unraveling. Exposure to excessive amounts of water can also remove, fade or alter the natural colors of your fabric, causing your bright and beautiful hues of red and blue to practically disappear.

Perhaps the most devastating and immediately noticeable parts of water damage are the dirt and grime that gets stuck deep in the fibers and the smell of mold, mildew, and dirt that follows. This is because water damage typically happens in the cases of floods, where the rug spends hours in water that contains dirt, sewage backup, and other unsanitary elements. Oftentimes, the immediate effects of water damage can be so overwhelming that homeowners simply roll up their precious rug and toss to the curb alongside other damaged valuables.

This is especially sad because while the insurance company may be able to compensate for the dollar value of your rug, it is impossible to completely replace your handmade rug. This is because these rugs often hold an intangible value for its one-of-a-kind artistry, the history it holds in its fibers, and the memories and sentimental value it holds as a family heirloom.

Damage Restoration TIPS

In order to receive the best results for your water damaged rug, there are a few important steps for you to follow:

  • Remove the rug from the water as quickly as possible. The longer the rug sits in the water, the more severe the damages become.
  • Do not roll the rug. Rolling the rug slows down the drying process, causes moisture to become trapped, and creates dark, moist pockets for mold and mildew to accumulate.
  • Lay it out to dry outside or in a well-ventilated area instead. The faster your rug can naturally dry, the better. Don’t worry about scrubbing out any dirt or stains at this point. Leave that for the professionals to care for.
  • Call the Miami Oriental Rug Pros right away. As soon as you call your insurance company, you should follow up with a call to our cleaning specialists. The sooner we are able to collect your rug and begin the cleaning process, the better the results will be.
