Don’t Replace Your Carpet — Restore It

Over time, even the best-installed carpets can loosen or wrinkle. Heavy furniture, humidity, and years of foot traffic can all cause ripples and seams to appear. These issues aren’t just cosmetic — they can be trip hazards and cause permanent damage if ignored.

Here’s how to tell when your carpet needs professional stretching or repair.

1. Wrinkles or Ripples Across the Surface

When your carpet starts to look wavy or uneven, it’s a clear sign that the backing has loosened. Leaving it that way too long can make the problem worse, leading to premature wear and tears.

2. Carpet Lifting Along Edges or Doorways

Loose edges are more than unsightly — they can fray or lift, especially in high-traffic areas. Professional re-securing keeps your carpet tight and safe.

3. Seams Separating or Fraying

If you see gaps forming between sections, it means the seam adhesive has failed. Seam repair can restore a smooth, uniform appearance without replacing your carpet.

4. Uneven Appearance After Cleaning

If ripples appear after a deep clean, it’s another sign your carpet needs stretching. The cleaning moisture causes loose backing to contract and expand — highlighting areas that need repair.
