It is natural for new carpet to loosen within the first years after a new carpet installation.  This occurs normally with all carpets due to environment, weather, frequency of use and traffic wear; along with quality of padding and carpet in general. Carpet Re-Stretching, would be considered premature in the first year of course, but pretty normal after 3-4 years, as your carpet ages and wears in. Once the latexes in the carpet have broken down and loosened a bit, a nice re-stretch is appropriate to make certain your carpets last and look great for many years to come.

Loose or bumpy carpet is an obvious sign that your carpet is in need of re-stretching. This can be seen when you start to notice wrinkles all over the carpet, especially in high traffic areas. If you begin to notice this happening with your carpets, it is imperative you have the carpets re-stretched, to ensure maximize life expectancy.

If left alone or unchecked, what begins as simple loose carpeting or wrinkles, can literally cut the life expectancy of your carpets in half.
