Does your carpet have unsightly stains, pet damage, or areas where the tack strip is showing and loose carpet is visible? If you have a damaged carpet, especially in highly visible locations, you probably want to have it repaired at some point. If you have loose carpet, you’ll definitely need the work of an industry-approved power stretcher to revitalize your carpet. There are various ways in which carpet is repaired. A professional carpet repair company can advise you on the best course of action when it comes to carpet repair. The carpet pros at Impressions Carpet & Hardwoods, we are your factory approved service provider, able to perform a wide array of carpet repairs to restore your flooring to its original condition. The carpet transition process isn’t easy, and having the right team is vital.

We cover some of the various types of common carpet repairs below:

Carpet Stretching Repairs

This type of repair is done on carpets that have become susceptible to excessive stretching due to the retention of too much moisture. Such a condition can cause the carpet to buckle. An improper carpet installation can also lead to carpet stretching.

Carpet Seam Repairs

When carpet is stretched perpendicularly to the seam of the carpet, a condition called seam peaking occurs. This condition can be avoided by stretching the carpet parallel to the seam. If seam peaking remains a persistent issue, a carpet repair professional can repair the condition in addition to repairing discoloration, seam shadows, and seam splitting.

Loop Carpet Repairs

Loop-styled carpets are constructed with a combination of straight and looped fibers. When looped fibers are pulled, gluing down or carpet patching can repair the condition.

Carpet Burn and Stain Repair

Instead of replacing carpet that has a burned or stained section, a carpet patch can resolve the issue. A carpet repair professional can use a precision tool to cut out the burned or stained section and replace it with a section of spare carpet of the same size.

Pet Damaged Carpet Repair

Pets can damage carpets in various ways, by scratching, digging, and using the carpet for a bathroom. Carpet repair professionals can repair damage from any of these conditions.

Padding Replacement

If your carpet pad is in poor shape, but the carpet above it is in good shape, a padding replacement will take care of the problem. It is a good idea to replace a dirty carpet pad in order to help preserve the quality of your carpet.

Things That Can Destroy Hardwood Floors

Written by impressionscarpet on December 7, 2022. Posted in Uncategorized. Leave a Comment

The durability and long service life of hardwood flooring has made them very popular among homeowners. With proper care, your wood floor can last decades, even as long as a century or more! There are many high-traffic areas and common activities that take place in homes that can damage and destroy beautiful hardwood floors. At Impressions Carpet & Hardwoods, we offer an array of carpet repair, hardwood floor cleaning solutions, and refinishing services to help you restore their appearance in your living spaces.

Some things that can degrade and even destroy hardwood floors include:

Moving Furniture

Every time furniture moves on the hardwood floor, even from sitting down or sliding the furniture a little bit, potential damage can occur, such as scratches and gouges. Furniture pads can solve this problem in large part. Check regularly to make sure any installed pads are in place.

Pets

Pets can cause water damage to hardwood floors through urination if it is left to sit too long. If this occurs on carpeted areas, it can cause stubborn stains that are hard to remove. If you have an animal with claws in the home, they can also cause the appearance of scratches on the surface of hardwood floors.

Sunlight

Hardwood continually exposed to sunlight day after day can eventually cause discoloration and fading. Use curtains and drapes on a routine basis, or window film, to protect your hardwood floors from over-exposure to the sun.

Water

Spilled water on hardwood floors can cause warping and water damage if it is left to sit and dry on its own. Steam cleaning and wet mopping can increase the chance of water damage to hardwood and carpeted areas, and so can any wet items placed on the floor’s surface, such as wet clothing.

Dirt and Dust

Dust, dirt, and other abrasive particles can cause scratching and dulling of a hardwood surface. Regular sweeping and vacuuming is a great and safe way to prevent these issues, keep your floors clean, and prolong the service life of your hardwood floor.

Dropped Items

When someone drops an item of any significant weight or something with a sharp edge onto a hardwood floor, damage to the floor can occur, including indentations and scratches.
