Carpet Stretching

Carpet stretching is an importantl part of installation. Many of our customers ask how or why does their carpet buckle and ripple. There are several reasons but the most typical one is a poor installation initially. You see, when carpet is installed loosely from the beginning, then its normal reaction over time is to ripple. The other less common reasons include things like allowing the temperature of your home to exceed 85 degrees inside. Maybe you rent your home and it sits vacant for a while with the AC turned off or maybe the house is up for sale and left in a similar condition.  The other most common reason is moving heavy furniture across the carpet. Regardless of how it rippled the truth is that it will always unsightly, creates a tripping hazard and if left alone for very long the problem will only get worse.
