Carpet that becomes loose ,baggy rippled needs a power Re-Stretch Service
Why Re-Stretch your carpet
After a while sometimes months or years carpets often become what is pronounced in the industry as coming loose,carpet has rippled ,carpet has become baggy,carpet needs pulling tight,carpet needs a stretch etc.
How and why did it become baggy like this ?
What i have found after being in the carpet service industry for 30 plus years is several reasons.a
The carpet was not installed tight enough in the first place ,carpets are usually and often installed using only what is called in our industry as a knee kicker which is used to stretch the carpet by hitting a soft pad with your knee but often the rooms are to big for this or the carpet backing is very stiff or even with a lot of new carpets they no longer have a jute or hessian back as raw jute is becoming difficult for the manufacturers to obtain. Manufacturers have made alternative backings from paper or felt type materials which are often to soft and if you read most manufacturers installation guidelines they insist that the carpet be installed using a power stretcher machine as seen in the photos it is hydraulic and leaves the carpet tight as a drum. Unfortunately most carpet layers/installers only use a knee kicker as it is quicker,easier and faster than setting up a power stretcher and assembling all the poles together and adjusting them to make them the correct length and width of the room. #carpetpowerstretching takes more time and effort than knee kicking a carpet and it takes years of experience to know the correct tension and stretching close to joins and past doorways etc. Other reasons why carpets become rippled, baggy is over cleaning them ,carpet grippers lifting at edges,sliding heavy furniture across carpets ie pianos sofa beds,or high volume traffic. You will often see in commercial premises like schools,offices,airports carpet Tiles or broadloom carpet being used which is glued down to the sub-floor using adhesive recommended by the manufacturer unlike in domestic homes carpet is installed using carpet grippers and a soft underlay which is referred to as a tack less installation .
