Carpet is a soft, heavy fabric/fiber covering for a hard floor surface. Carpet and rugs were originally created to act as environmental filters for living areas. Carpet gets a lot of traffic, and chances are, most people will incur some form of carpet damage from time to time. And there are steps other than replacing the carpet or artfully arranging your furniture to hide the flaws. A1 Carpet Care's IICRC-certified repair technicians perform a variety of repairs each day, leaving the carpet looking as good as new.
Some common professional carpet repairs include:
Problem: Burned, stained or otherwise damaged carpeting
Solution: "Cut and plug" or a "cookie cutter repair" is used to repair small areas of carpet that are burned, stained or similarly damaged. The damaged piece of carpet is cut out and a good piece of matching carpet is hot-glued in its place.
*If leftover matching carpet isn't available, a small piece is usually taken from a closet or similar hidden location
.
Problem: Loose, wrinkled or buckled areas of carpeting
Solution: Restretching is used for loose and wrinkled carpets. Like a facelift, restretching makes carpet tight again. This also prolongs the carpet's life by eliminating wrinkles which can cause the carpet to wear more quickly from the constant back and forth bending that occurs when they are stepped on. It also reduces the danger of tripping on the loose material.
