| Burns, holes, tears, wrinkles, pulled
fibers, fraying, ripples, re-stretching, delamination, open
or weak seams, loose stairs, bubbles, sprouting tufts, pulled
rows, and more. You no longer have to put up with unsightly,
unsafe, damaged carpets.
BURNS, HOLES and TEARS:
Physical damage to carpet can often be repaired through seaming
or a precision bonded insert. Even if a donor piece of carpet
is not available, often a piece can be scavenged from a closet
or other inconspicuous area.
WRINKLES:
A very common repair today is to correct buckling or wrinkling
in the carpet. This usually appears two to four years after
installation. Besides looking bad, they cause carpet to wear
unevenly, and pose a serious slip and fall hazard. These should
be repaired immediately, due the fact that they get worse
over time and can cause a permanent crease and discoloration
in the carpet.
PULLED FIBERS:
Common to loop pile carpet is the pulling of fibers. It is
very important to catch these early. A looped carpet is like
a knitted sweater, where a pull just gets longer and longer
with time. Your EcoClean Technician can reburl the "bundle
wraps" that have been pulled out of the carpet backing.
CARPET EDGE FRAYING:
Carpets often fray at the edges. Usually we see this at thresholds,
where the flooring changes from carpet to hard surface. The
problem many times is delamination. Delamination occurs when
the face yarns separate from the backing of the carpet. Your
EcoClean Technician can often fix this problem by injecting
or reapplying a latex adhesive to rejoin the two layers of
carpet.
These are some of the most common repair issues we are asked
about while in our clients homes. It is important that consumers
know that these problems can be repaired. Keep in mind, damage
to carpet fibers and backing weakens the carpet and generally
gets worse over time. Prompt and immediate attention by your
EcoClean Technician can increase the odds of successful resolution
to your concerns.
The most important thing to remember however is that your
EcoClean Technician is experienced, trained and certified
in carpet repair, restoration and reinstallation. . EcoClean
Technicians obtain training and certification through the
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification,
the IICRC, as well as other sources. The IICRC is the standard
setting board for carpet cleaning and restoration companies.
The standards published by the IICRC are recognized as the
industry standards nationwide.
