Carpet wrinkles

Mar 22, 2010 8 Replies

We bought this house about 7 years ago, and after a few years the carpeting in the living room went from normally taught to having wrinkles - some of these get to about an inch above the wood substrate.



What's the best way to correct this?


Best way to remedy that would be to go rent a carpet kicker and rekick your carpet...here is one in action here:

Must have been a crap install.

As one poster said, buy a carpet kicker. Here's one for $20

And watch a video on it's use.

Plan on replacing the worn-out carpet with laminate sometime in the next year or so.

Carpet kicker, or if real bad, carpet stretcher.

I saw it in person.

Carpet stretcher. You'll probably need to cut a little off one side when you do this.
