Water Damaged Rugs

Can You Clean A Water Damaged Rug?

With the terrible weather conditions the UK experiences, at the moment insurance claims are at an all time high. Many people would have contacted their insurance companies for help to dry the homes and help restore their damaged contents including Water Damaged Rugs.

Contractors turn up and help you with the drying of the building and most of the time dispose of all the effected contents.

One of the problems you face with water damaged rugs is that you paid a fortune for them or its been in the family for years and the memory that you played on this rug as a child and now somebody has just told you its for the skip.

Panic over we can restore Flood Damaged Rugs

Having worked in the insurance industry for 20 years as a Reputable Restorer, we have seen during flood and similar widespread events, some contractors disposing of rugs, instead of restoring them to their pre-incident condition. This results in waste materials being unnecessarily added to over-used landfill sites and the cost of claim increasing, as a result of having to replace new for old.

Hand knotted rugs are unique items and therefore cannot be replaced “like for like”. So you will be then cash settled or offered a rug that is nothing like the one you have lost
