Carpet Stretching

stretching an older carpet Carpet stretching is a common repair in most homes that range between 3 to 7 years after the carpet is installed. The carpet shows signs of being loose and ripples form in certain areas.

The need for carpet stretching is very common because carpet installers do not put enough tension on the carpet during installation. During installation, if the carpet is cut to fit a room and knee kicked into place then over time, with wear and humidity, the ripples appear and the carpet needs stretching. Power stretching puts tension on the carpet by using an arm and pushing off the adjacent wall while stretching it into place on the adjacent tack strip. The excess carpet is removed and discarded.
