You can’t have a good trilogy without a good part 3. The past two parts have revolved around hardwood, but now it’s time to discuss carpet problems. Here are some facts about carpets.
- In some carpets, a problem occurs known as fluffing or shedding. This is where small balls of fluff start showing up after a carpet is installed. This isn't a big deal as it happens with a lot of new carpets.
- Pile reversal is a change in pile direction of a direction; this can make the carpet look lighter or darker. It’s a type of pile distortion that is not considered a problem and has no cause or cure except for a carpet replacement.
- Matting is the untwisting of carpet fibers. It has two main causes, heavy foot traffic or wrongly specified underlays or underlay failure. If you experience this problem, it’s best to find the problem behind the matting early on.
- Draught markings or filtration soiling can occur along the edge of a room. This is caused by airflow over the carpet bringing airborne dirt particles to settle into the room. Sometimes poor installation of the ventilation system can be to blame for this problem.
- Carpets will begin to fade over time from being exposed to the UV rays of the sun. If you decide to replace the carpet due to faded colors, it’s a must to prevent this problem again by replacing your windows with Low-E windows that will block UV rays from hitting the new carpet.
These are some of the common problems with carpets, some warrant a carpet replacement and some do not. If you have a problem with your carpet causes you to want to replace it or if you’re just overdue for a carpet restoration, give us a call at 1-844-5RESTORE.
