Ya were honestly just kinda starting to break into residential. Im gonna have to have a session with my guys about how to pre-qualify carpets
I always look under furniture between legs. The legs act as nails stopping carpet from expanding. And against base for any humps. This reveals if strip has failed or that carpet is bunched against base. Failed pad can contribute to loose carpet even uneven subflooring. Where carpet was once tight then settled over a ramp in the floor. First day it will be like a trampoline but will fatigue rapidly.
Na nothing got moved, however i feel like the carpet was poorly installed (stretched) that with him really flushing it out i believe he over wet it. Cant tell the home owner it was poorly stretched after the fact so were gonna fix it i have one of my installers going over there to stretch it and then were going to reclean it. Make a happy customer.
Just hand do what I do. Just hand the customer a disclaimer about if rug buckles......not your fault. Before your guys start. Been in this situation before and sometimes the glue releases also and the carpet can delaminate. It’s on them.
That was my 1st initial fear was that it had delaminated, machine he was using get really hot and i was afraid he cranked the heat cause it was bad. Once i looked at it and realized that didnt happen i was relieved to say the least
Bubbling around furniture legs, wall edges, carpet moving while cleaning several things can hint that its not properly stretched. Can you post that article or send it to me, id love to read it.
Most customers don’t know that part of the maintenance program for carpet is restretching it..........if I walk into a job and I see buckling along the walls I tell them the carpet will probably buckle more as it needs a stretch and trim already and the cleaning will exacerbate it but it will probably return to the state I found it once dry.........then I proceed to hand them an installers card.........
