What causes a carpet to buckle?

Humidity: Synesthetic fibers expand with higher humidity levels.  Carpet should be stored / installed with low moisture content.  Carpet installed over concrete slab that is close to dew point in the Spring and fluctuates over the year may be problematic. Carpet affected by flooding probably will need re-stretching.   

Defective / Low Quality Carpet:  Carpet in general is not designed to last as long as it once was. Budget / builders grade carpet is likely to need re-stretched at some point.  We are often able to extend the useful life of even low end carpet if delamination is not present.  

Bad Carpet Installation: Carpet installers aren’t paid by the hour and may not have to stand behind their work if installing for big box stores.  Cuting corners by not using a power stretch saves time and creates problems down the road.

Delamination: A separation of tufted carpet from face fiber, primaray and or secondary backing. This is often caused by dragging heavy furniture across the carpet, rolling office chairs or flooding.
