Collection and delivery in Bradenton River District are included. We take the rug back to the workshop, wash it properly, and bring it home.

The Houses

What Bradenton River District is built from

Downtown Bradenton on the south bank of the Manatee River: 1920s masonry commercial blocks along Old Main Street with apartments over the shops, riverfront buildings out along Manatee Avenue, and the small early-century houses in the neighbourhoods immediately behind.

Year-round and working, on a different rhythm from the keys — the population here does not halve in May. Rugs are used every day of the year rather than four months of it, and they are lived on rather than displayed.

What We Find Here

The Bradenton River District problem

Century-old masonry is the local variable. Buildings put up in the 1920s went up without the moisture break a modern wall has, so a solid brick or block wall in contact with the ground wicks water upward and releases it into the room along the base of that wall, quietly, all year. A rug laid tight to the wall in a ground-floor unit takes that up along one edge and nowhere else, which is why the damage here has such a recognisable shape: a band of damp down one long side, dark on the back well before anything shows on the face, the foundation in that band weaker than the rest of the rug and often already discoloured, and the other three sides completely sound. Everybody reads it as a spill. It is not a spill, and it will come back, because the wall has not changed. The rug can be washed, the weakened foundation rebuilt, and then it needs to live a few inches off the wall with air able to move behind it and underneath it.

If that sounds like your rug, send the form and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you whether it needs the full treatment or not.
