Is your carpet looking a little lumpy and bumpy, and just doesn’t lie flat like it used to? That doesn’t mean that it’s time to replace it. Repairing the carpet by having it restretched is all that you need to do. Read on to learn more.

One of the most common problems with existing carpets is that they can stretch over time, causing them to become bumpy, with wrinkles and ridges appearing. This is undesirable as not only does it not look good, it can also be a hazard as you can trip over the wrinkles and ridges. Carpet that is stretched will need to be replaced more quickly than it otherwise would.

Carpet restretching is a process carried out by professional carpet layers. The purpose is to remove all of the lumps and ridges so that it lies completely flat once again, just like new. Restretching the carpet will add five years or more to its life expectancy, saving you the cost of replacing the carpet.

When you are getting restretching done, make sure that you use a reputable carpet layer that is highly experienced in their field and also in working with all different types of carpet.
