Our Repair Services

Specialist Repair for Every Type of Rug Damage

From flood damage and mold to moth infestations and torn foundations — we have a dedicated repair service for every situation. Select the service that matches your rug’s damage to learn more.

Mold Damage Repair

Full-depth mold remediation targeting all three layers of the rug — pile, foundation, and backing — using targeted inhibitor treatment, organic hand-washing, and post-treatment protection to prevent recurrence. We eliminate the colony at the root, not just what is visible on the surface.

Pile · Foundation · Backing

Oriental Rug Repair

Expert hand-repair for Oriental and Persian rugs covering the full range of damage — fringe and edge binding, pile reweaving, hole and tear repair, warp and foundation restoration, and antique heirloom care. Every repair is matched to the original construction so the damage disappears entirely.

All Damage Types Covered

Rug Fringe & Tassel Repair

Fringe repair, tassel restoration, and full fringe replacement for Oriental, Persian, and area rugs. New fringe is hand-knotted directly onto the warp thread ends and matched in weight, twist, colour, and length. Warp threads are assessed and secured before any fringe work begins.

Repair · Whitening · Replacement

Moth Damage Repair

Full moth sanitation completed first, followed by expert hand-reweaving of bald patches, thinning sections, and pattern-damaged areas. Reweaving over an active infestation simply provides larvae with fresh fiber — sanitation is always step one. Dye-matched yarn and construction-accurate knotting throughout.

Sanitation First · Reweaving Second

Rug Reweaving & Patching

Hand-reweaving for holes, cuts, burns, pet damage, and wear-through sections in hand-knotted rugs — and precision patching for machine-made and tufted area rugs. The foundation is always restored before the pile is rebuilt. The correct technique is assessed for each rug type before any work begins.

Hand-Knotted & Machine-Made

Flood & Water Damage Recovery

Emergency recovery for rugs damaged by flooding, pipe bursts, sewage backflow, roof leaks, and appliance overflows. We treat the contamination — not just the wetness — with a full decontamination protocol matched to the water source, followed by organic washing, mold prevention, and complete controlled flat drying.

Why Every Repair Starts with an Assessment

The Right Repair for the Right Rug — We Never Guess

No two rugs are constructed the same way, and no two damage situations are identical. A technique that produces an invisible repair on a hand-knotted Persian rug will produce a structurally weak and visually obvious result on a machine-made area rug — and vice versa. Getting the assessment right before any work begins is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails again quickly.

At Essy Rugs, every repair commission starts with a full evaluation of the rug’s construction, fiber type, and the nature and extent of the damage. We then recommend the right approach — and explain clearly why — before any work is agreed. We will always tell you if the honest recommendation is to do less than you initially expected. Protecting the rug is always more important than maximising the scope of work.

Across all six repair services, every piece of work is done by hand at our Montgomery workshop, using dye-matched natural yarn and construction-appropriate techniques. Every repair is carefully inspected to ensure the workmanship meets our quality standards before the rug is ready for you.

How It Works

From Collection to Return — Our Repair Process

Contact & Quote

Tell us about your rug and the damage. We respond with an initial assessment and a no-obligation quote — faster if you include photos.

Bring Your Rug In

Bring your rug to our facility at a convenient time for an in-person assessment. Our team will handle it with care throughout the repair process.

Assessment & Approval

Full in-person condition assessment at our workshop. We confirm the repair approach, timeline, and final cost — your approval before any work begins.

Repair & Return

All work is completed by hand at our Montgomery workshop, followed by a final quality inspection before your rug is carefully wrapped and prepared for you to collect.

Rug Damage Is Always Progressive — Every Week of Delay Makes the Repair Harder

Unrepaired holes grow under foot traffic. Mold spreads through backing fibers. Moth larvae keep feeding. Flood contamination bonds deeper into the pile. Whatever the damage, addressing it sooner produces a better result and a smaller repair — contact us today for a free assessment.

Why Alabama Trusts Essy Rugs for Repair

Six Repair Services. One Standard of Craftsmanship.

Whatever the damage — whatever the rug — the standard of work we apply is the same. Hand-done, honestly assessed, and held to the measure of invisibility before anything leaves our workshop.

All Repairs Done Entirely by Hand

No machines, no shortcuts. Every knot, every fringe strand, every patch and foundation thread is applied by hand. This is the only approach that produces a result indistinguishable from the original rug's construction.

Dye-Matched Yarn — Repair Made to Disappear

We source and hand-dye yarn to match the current aged colour of the rug's pile — accounting for any fading or mellowing over the rug's life. This is the variable most repair services get wrong, and the one that determines whether a repair is visible or invisible.

Honest Assessment Before Every Commission

We tell you the realistic outcome before any work is agreed. We advise against intervention when risk outweighs benefit, recommend the less expensive option when it produces the better result, and never begin work without your approval.

Professional Rug Care at Our Montgomery Workshop

Every repair is completed at our Montgomery workshop, where our team can carefully assess the rug, perform the required hand repair, and complete a final quality inspection before the rug is ready for you to collect.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Essy was so patient with me in finding a rug for my den while also trying to shop and discuss with my children with me.  I wanted a rug I would love for decades.  He has great knowledge and wants the customer to be happy in the end, not just sale the rug.  I feel like I have known him for years.  I am confident he can help you decide on a rug too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was blown away by the level of care he brought to cleaning my rug. He cleaned it beautifully, and his knowledge made the whole process easy to trust. He clearly knows his craft. His prices are beyond fair, and he’s one of the kindest people I’ve worked with in a long time. He answered all my rug questions with patience and real expertise. A truly positive experience from start to finish — I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a black & white rug that had never been cleaned in 12 years. Essy Rugs not only made it look brand new the price and turnaround time made it elegant! I own residential rental properties. I will be referring all of my tenants to Easy Rugs for services.
