Many people believe that the only way to fix carpet ripples is to completely tear out the carpet, and install a new one. The team at Hydro Clean is here to debunk some myths about carpet ripples. If you’ve damaged your carpet in some way, don’t fret just yet! We’re going to explain what carpet stretching consists of, and how we can have your carpet back to normal in no time!
What Is Carpet Stretching?
Carpet stretching is a process that involves pulling a carpet tighter and re-securing it to the tack along the exterior of a room. This removes the buckling and rippling from a carpet, and makes the loose fibers tight again. When carpets are properly stretched, it helps ensure the integrity and life span of the carpet. It also reduces possible hazards, such as tripping over a buckled carpet.
Causes Of Buckled Carpet
Carpet bubbles don’t always mean that your carpet is made of cheap materials, or was installed incorrectly. Carpets can become loose and develop carpet buckles for many reasons. Some of these include:
- Heavy Traffic
- If your carpet is in an area that sees more traffic than normal, this can eventually lead to a loose carpet. A common area that homeowners experience buckled carpet is in a playroom. This happens because children are always running around and pushing their toys on the carpet. Eventually, after a few years, this wear and tear weakens the carpet’s structure and can lead to it loosening.
- Heavy Furniture
- If you’re moving heavy furniture across carpet repeatedly, you’ll eventually notice the edges begin to lift up and ripple.
- Incorrect Padding
- Padding is just as important as the carpet you choose. If your padding and carpet aren’t complementary, then the padding can fail at its job. Poor padding can lead to your carpet becoming loose over time.
- Poor Installation
- If your carpet isn’t stretched and installed properly, then it’s likely that it will become more loose over time.
Once carpets become loose and begin to form ripples, it will only get worse. Carpets are meant to lie flat, so any movement on a raised carpet causes the loosening to quicken.
