Tabriz Rug Water Damage Case and Me As An Expert Witness in Court

I was in court all day today from 8:00 am to almost 4:00 pm. There was a Persian Tabriz rug 7' x 10' water damage case and I was there as an Expert Witness. The judge was amazingly polite, smart and detailist. I was there as an Expert Witness and mentioned that this rug could be saved and the colors could be restored to some extent. I also questioned the appraisal the plaintiff had gotten for this rug. It was a very long and lengthy court. The judge was asking very detailed questions looking for contradictions to find out the truth. I liked his approach. Very smart and thoughtful.

Rug Water Damage Restoration in Los Angeles

Because of the sudden rain in Los Angeles, we got a lot of calls for rug water damage. Some people who have rugs in their balcony or outside, were not aware of the rain and therefore got all of their rugs wet. Even the rugs that were kept inside, but got wet because of a leakage from a ceiling, had been damaged. We received calls one after another and had to pick up the rugs right away. Once rugs get wet, if not rewashed and taken care of quickly, they will be damaged. The foundation will become dry and crack, the rugs pile will harden, and the rug will smell. Fortunately our company can take care of all of these problems. With our emergency service, our average estimated pick up time is 45 minutes, so we can take care of problems other than water damage as well, such as wine or coffee spill, dog and cat urine, etc.

Rug Water Damage Restoration Los Angeles

It has been raining in Los Angeles since few days ago. We have received several rugs which were damaged by water for cleaning and color restoration. Some of these rugs were left in the garages or parking spaces. Some were in homes with floods.

First, we have to extract the water to prevent the rug to get mold or color run and bleeding. Then we have to wash the rug with ample pure water, shampoo and special type of enzyme to take care of the dirt and bacteria deposited in the pile. Then we rinse the rug thoroughly to make sure there is no residue left in the carpet. Drying is the last step. We have to make sure that the rug is completely dry before we deliver the rug; otherwise it would smell.

Rug Water Damage Restoration Los Angeles

Few weeks ago, a young lady walked into our rug store with a very beautiful Persian hand knotted Tabriz rug. Her rug was damaged by water and flood. We told her what it would cost to restore the colors. We did the job, but she could not get her money and the lost value of the rug from her insurance company. We gave her a 25% discount in spite of the signed contract we had with her. This made her happy. All the color run and the bleeding were removed. This e-mail is what she has sent us. It is priceless!!

"First of all I love SOBCO International! From the moment I walked in Khosrow and his son made me feel comfortable. I had my handmade Persian carpet damaged in a flood at my apartment...I thought it was completely unrepairable...but thanks to the knowledge and hard work of the team of experts at SOBCO International my Persian carpet was fully restored. I could not be happier with the service I received from them! " Sahrzad. K.

Rug Water Damage Restoration Los Angeles

It has been raining in Los Angeles for the past few days. We have received several rugs from different customers for water damage restoration. First we wash and clean the rugs to take as much as the color run and bleeding out of the rugs. Then we dry the rugs. After this, we start removing the colors mostly red and dark blue (that usually cause the bleeding) which have entered the ivory or lighter parts of the background.
