Phoenix Carpet Stretching

One of the main reasons carpet needs to be Re-Stretched is it was never installed correctly in the first place. Out in the field we see allot of loose carpet. People call every day and say they have Ripples, Bumps, waves, and creases in their carpet. For most types of carpet they should be installed drum tight. We find installers installing with a Knee Kicker instead of a Power stretcher. A knee Kicker is needed but its designed to set the carpet on the tack strip not to stretch in Carpet! Another reason is a tack strip pops and loosens and that causes the carpet to loosen from its original drum tight installation. A third reason we see allot of here in Arizona is that people leave their home without the ac on in the summer
months and if the home gets about 90 degrees the carpet relaxes and this causes the carpet to Ripple. Please make sure who ever you choose to Re-stretch your carpet, that they use a power stretcher and that they stretch your carpet from wall to wall without any furniture on your carpet. Having furniture on your carpet causes stress points and this causes damage to your carpet as well.
