Rug restoration in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre

Diplomatic residences

Many embassies are established around the square Maréchal Montgomery and along the avenue de Tervueren. Diplomatic residences change occupants at the rhythm of postings: it is a steady flow of oriental rugs that arrive, leave again, or stay where they are at the end of a posting.

Those are the households that keep a rug for thirty years and bring it to us when the weft begins to speak.

Damp and water

The Woluwe originally wound through a marshy valley before being straightened and largely culverted. The sewers, although oversized six times over, see flows exceed their capacity by up to twenty times during heavy rain, and the permanent wetlands cause groundwater problems that call for continuous pumping under some buildings. After the heavy rain on the night of 1 August 2024, the town brought its residents together on 10 September 2024 with Vivaqua on how the sewers and storm basins work.

Damp is the leading cause of heavy restoration: it attacks the back, makes the backing adhesives give way and prepares the ground for moths.

Collection

Woluwe-Saint-Pierre works mainly as a blue zone: 2 hours maximum with the parking disc, from 9.00 to 18.00 Monday to Saturday (Monday to Friday in some streets), with green and orange zones on the shopping cores. The constraint is therefore not the price but the clock — and, in villas with a long private drive, the distance between the drawing-room door and the place where the vehicle can actually park.

We take the rug away to the workshop: restoration is not done in your home. Access therefore governs the date, not the quote.
