Funny lump in carpet.

A smoking kills comercial that i didnt make but its still pretty funny. The resultant lump is easily noticeable under carpet and you may even feel it under a laminate floor. Assuming the carpet installer didn t forget to clean the floor before laying the carpet a lump usually starts when the carpet loosens or pulls away from the wall. If there is an excessive amount of water in the carpet or if the humidity is really high that day this expansion will become readily noticeable and can cause the carpet to wrinkle or buckle.

I had a carpet guy come out and he wanted to restretch the whole carpet 12 5 x 22. They would do it but at more than double the price. Over time your carpet can develop lumps bumps and wrinkles that are unattractive and potential tripping hazards. Fwiw whenever we ve had to store carpet we ve put it either flat on the floor in the hall or up the stairs to one side.

Get the lumps out of your carpet to restore the look and safety of your home. The lumps underneath my carpet were clumps of dried up drywall compound. You wouldn t believe how much crap the builders leave behind before the carpet and drywall goes up. Not only are lumps unattractive and cause eye sores but they are a hazard that causes trips and falls.

Creaking that isn t related to rot plywood particleboard and osb subfloors can pop up at the corners when installers use an insufficient number of fasteners especially if the fasteners are nails. I sneaked into my house the day before the drywall went up and scooped up so much crap that can make you sick to your stomach. The bumps may appear when the carpet padding wears down enough to create slack in. I m alone and couldn t possibly move all the furniture and books in there.

Hmm wool and wool mix carpets are stretched during fitting so you would expect lumps and bumps to be smoothed during the fitting process. I don t know if the same thing holds true for synthetic ones. Depending on the amount of clay in the latex these buckles can actually become waves and can be quite disconcerting. So i called a second carpet repair guy.

There were two humps almost next to each other.
