Re-Stretching Residential Carpet (Got Ripples?)

Serving: All Of Palm Beach County.
Florida
There are just a few reasons why someone might have ripples in carpet or just "loose" carpet. Whether the carpet was installed as recently as one year or ten years, the main reason is a bad install (i.e. the installer stretched the carpet with a knee kicker and did not use a power stretcher, which happens quite often). By bad install, I mean the installer rushed through the job as quickly as possible by using a knee kicker. Most installers can finish a job in about half the time it takes to do the job properly. I've seen this many times over the years, and have been called out hundreds of times to fix someone Else's bad install.
Sometimes it's not the original installers fault at all. The carpet could also be loose or have ripples directly under a large window that the sun shines through regularly, and the heat from the sun can actually loosen up the carpet. Also, it could be from regular carpet cleanings where the carpet cleaning tech over whetted the carpet.
Regardless of the reasons, all loose or rippled residential carpet can be fixed at a very reasonable cost, compared to replacing the carpet completely.
