Wall to wall carpet like skin loses elasticity as it ages so it shouldn t surprise you to find the living room carpet that looked fine when you moved in beginning to show a few wrinkles. They ll also wear out first so they ll really never go away unless you fix them. When this happens you will need to clear the room and pull the wrinkles right out of the carpet. Having a room with wall to wall carpet can be comfortable and cozy.

Rent the proper tools and restretch the carpet in less than an hour. Next pull the carpet out from under the baseboard on two adjoining sides of the room and stretch the carpet to remove the puckers using carpet stretching tools. Set the teeth into the carpet near the wall and push down on the stretcher handle. Sometimes over time the carpet stretches and ends up with small wrinkles in unwanted places in the room.

It is not a hard process just time consuming. Finally rehook the carpet on the tack strips attached to the subfloor trim off any excess carpet around the edges and slip it back under the baseboard.
