Flood Damage Rug Cleaning & Restoration

Professional Flood Damage Cleaning for Persian & Oriental Rugs

Has your Persian or Oriental rug been damaged by flooding, a burst pipe, a plumbing leak, or water intrusion? Jafri Oriental Rugs specializes in flood damage rug cleaning and restoration for handmade Persian, Oriental, antique, wool, and silk rugs. Our experienced craftsmen use traditional hand-washing techniques and advanced restoration methods to safely remove contaminants, eliminate odors, and restore your rug's beauty and structural integrity.

The sooner a flood-damaged rug receives professional attention, the greater the chance of preventing permanent damage such as mold, mildew, dye bleeding, fiber deterioration, and foundation failure.

Our Flood Damage Rug Restoration Process

Comprehensive Rug Inspection

Every restoration begins with a detailed inspection. Our specialists evaluate the rug's fibers, construction, dye stability, water exposure, contamination level, and overall condition to develop a customized cleaning and restoration plan.

Professional Water Extraction

Prompt water removal is essential to minimize long-term damage. We use professional extraction equipment to remove excess moisture before it can weaken fibers, promote mold growth, or cause dyes to migrate.

Removal of Mud, Dirt & Contaminants

Floodwater often leaves behind mud, sand, silt, bacteria, and other contaminants deep within the rug's foundation. We carefully remove these materials before washing to ensure a more thorough and effective cleaning.

Traditional Hand Washing

Unlike standard carpet cleaning methods, every handmade rug is individually hand washed using gentle, wool-safe, pH-balanced cleaning solutions. This process safely removes dirt, flood residue, odors, and contaminants while protecting delicate fibers and preserving natural dyes.

Odor Removal & Sanitization

Flood-damaged rugs often develop unpleasant odors and may contain bacteria, mold spores, and mildew. Our specialized deodorizing and sanitizing treatments help eliminate contaminants and restore freshness without compromising the rug's delicate materials.

Climate-Controlled Drying

After cleaning, rugs are dried in a controlled environment with carefully monitored airflow, temperature, and humidity. Proper drying helps prevent shrinkage, mildew, dye bleeding, and structural distortion while protecting the rug's long-term condition.

Expert Rug Repair & Restoration

If flood damage has weakened your rug, our restoration specialists can perform a wide range of repairs, including:

• Hand reweaving damaged areas
• Fringe repair and replacement
• Edge binding restoration
• Foundation stabilization
• Color correction and restoration
• Structural reinforcement

Every repair is completed using traditional techniques designed to preserve the rug's original craftsmanship and appearance.

Before your rug is returned, it undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection. We verify that it has been thoroughly cleaned, completely dried, structurally sound, odor-free, and restored to our exacting standards.

The first image shows how this French Aubusson rug has been left in a very poor condition. The rug is an example of an mid-century French Aubusson rug. This rug is made with sage and rose vegetable dyes and unfortunately was never cleaned or repaired throughout its life and requires enormous attention to the following areas:

-Reweaving worn areas where warp and weft is showing

-Refringing as the fringe is torn off

-Rebinding as the binding is unraveling

-Vegetable dyes are fading

-Field of the rug is also showing unevenness in the wool pile

-Reweaving all worn areas to bring back this rug's dye lots are amazing and look vibrant

- Brush the rug with oil and dye in areas where the wool was not worn and distressed

-Matching the wool so that it blends perfectly within the field of the rug
