Why Ottawa Carpets Get Loose
Ottawa's climate extremes - from humid summers to dry heated winters - cause carpet to expand and contract. Combined with normal wear, this leads to loosening over time.
- Humidity changes - Summer humidity expands carpet; winter heating dries and shrinks it.
- Improper installation - Original installers may not have used power stretching.
- Heavy furniture - Moving heavy items can pull carpet off tack strips.
- Age - After 5-10 years, even well-installed carpet may need re-stretching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about carpet stretching in Ottawa
How do I know if my carpet needs stretching?
Signs include visible ripples, bubbles, or waves in the carpet; carpet that bunches when you walk on it; or loose edges pulling away from walls.
Will stretching fix permanent wrinkles?
Stretching removes most wrinkles. However, if carpet has had deep creases for years, some faint lines may remain in the fiber, though the carpet will lay flat.
Do I need to remove furniture before you come?
For best results, yes. We can move light furniture, but heavy items like beds, dressers, and entertainment centers should be cleared from the room.
How long does carpet stretching take?
A typical room takes 30-60 minutes. We can stretch a whole house in a day for complete convenience.
Will the carpet get loose again?
With proper power stretching, carpet stays tight for many years. However, after 8-10 years, some re-stretching may be needed due to normal wear.
Can you stretch carpet in any room?
Yes, we stretch carpet in all rooms including bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and even closets. Wall-to-wall carpet can always be re-stretched.
