Carpet Stretching

We Fix Ripples, Wrinkles, and Loose Carpet the Right Way
Noticing bumps, ripples, or waves in your carpet? You’re not alone—and yes, it’s fixable. Over time, even professionally installed carpets can loosen, especially in high-traffic areas or under extreme Arizona heat. At Phoenix Carpet Repair & Cleaning, we specialize in power stretching carpets throughout the Phoenix metro area to restore a smooth, safe, and like-new look to your floors.

Why Is My Carpet Wrinkling?

According to Robert, our owner, there are three common causes of carpet ripples and looseness:

  • Poor Installation
    Many installers use a knee kicker instead of a power stretcher during installation. Knee kickers are not designed to fully stretch carpet wall-to-wall—they’re only meant to position it on the tack strips. Without proper stretching, carpets loosen quickly under daily use. At Phoenix Carpet Repair & Cleaning, we always use a professional power stretcher to ensure a drum-tight fit and long-lasting results.
  • Loose or Damaged Tack Strips
    When tack strips come loose, the carpet loses its hold and begins to buckle. Our team can reset or replace the tack strips and power stretch the carpet back into place.
  • Arizona Heat & Vacant Homes
    If you leave your home with the air conditioning off, especially in the brutal Phoenix summers, the intense heat can “relax” your carpet fibers, causing them to ripple and wrinkle. We recommend keeping your A/C at 85°F or below when away to protect your flooring investment.
