Why Is My Minneapolis Carpet Bubbling?

Carpets are a great part of any home, whether or not it is in Minneapolis. The health of your carpets is important to keep your family healthy as well. Bubbles in your carpets can be a sign of needing new carpets or a better carpet cleaner. Before you are concerned about your carpets bubbling, be sure to find the right problem to get the right solution.

Improper installation

When installing a carpet, it must be tightly stretched and secured in place to keep your carpet from bubbling. Improper installation bubbling will usually show up soon after getting your carpets installed. If this is the case, be sure to contact your carpet installers to get it fixed.

Wrong carpet pads

Carpets will have carpet pads underneath them to keep it cushioned and secure. However, the wrong carpet pads can make bumps in the carpets around the edges of the room. It could also not allow the carpet to stretch enough to prevent bumps and bubbles. This will have to be fixed by professional carpet installers to make sure your carpets get the right pads for support.

Humidity

The humidity of the air can affect your carpet. The moisture in your carpets can loosen the base, making your carpets form bubbles. Usually, these kinds of carpet bubbles will fix themselves after the humidity in the air goes back down. Because Minneapolis is a place with all four seasons, this may happen with your carpets more often.

Dragging furniture

Dragging furniture across the room can move the carpet underneath it. If the furniture is heavy enough, the nails and adhesives in your carpets can become loose and create bubbles. This also happens over time with increased age in your carpet. If this happens more often, it may mean you have to replace your carpets instead of cleaning them.

Wet carpets

Water breaks down the adhesives that keep the carpet in place. If the carpet adhesives get worn down, it will make the carpet loose and could bubble in other places. Carpet cleaning can get the carpet wet in some methods of carpet cleaning.
