Why
should you have your carpet restretched? The most important reason is to
prevent accidents and falls, due to a person tripping on the carpet bulge or
ridge, resulting in injury, in the work place or home. The next reason
is to prevent premature wear, requiring the carpet to be replaced many years
earlier then its normal life cycle. Correctly restretching a carpet that is
loose and ridging, will add at least 5 years to its life expectancy, and it
will look a lot better for much longer.
The high ridge or bulge that occurs,
attracts extra foot traffic, hence causing that ridge to wear through and
become threadbare before the main body of the carpet, resulting in having to
replace the whole area. Having a carpet restretched is a maintenance requirement,
like having your car serviced.
