Why Carpet Ripple and Bubble – and How We Fix It
At CarpetFix, we use a Power Stretcher to properly tension your carpet — not just a knee kicker. Most of the rippled or bubbled carpets we repair (about 95%) have one thing in common: too much carpet tucked under the baseboards and an improper initial stretch.
Over time, that extra carpet slowly works its way back toward the center of the room through normal use and foot traffic. The result? Ripples, bumps, and bubbles that not only look bad but can also cause wear and tear on your carpet fibers.
What Happens If You Don’t Stretch Your Carpet
Once wrinkles start to appear, it’s best to have your carpet stretched as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more damage occurs. Over time, the carpet fibers can become permanently distorted, and even after stretching, you may still see a faint “scar” or dirt line where the wrinkle used to be.
While a proper stretch will make the carpet flat again, dirt and grime often collect along the folds. Every step or foot drag across a wrinkle accelerates fiber damage — so early stretching helps preserve both the appearance and lifespan of your carpet.

Stretching vs. Replacing — Which Is Cheaper?
If your carpet is still in good condition or fairly new, stretching is by far the more affordable option. Replacing carpet — especially in just one or two rooms — can be costly, and it’s often impossible to find the exact same color or texture. In most cases, a professional stretch can restore your carpet’s look and save you hundreds of dollars compared to replacement.

Carpet Stretching Sequence
Carpet stretching should always be completed before carpet cleaning. Stretching first ensures that all bubbles and ripples are removed, allowing the cleaning process to be more effective in lifting dirt and debris. Attempting to stretch a damp or wet carpet can cause damage, as the backing becomes more fragile when exposed to moisture.
For best results, the room should be cleared of heavy furniture before stretching. While smaller or lighter items can be moved around during the process, large or heavy pieces can interfere with achieving a proper, even stretch. Removing furniture completely allows us to perform the job correctly and deliver the smooth, long-lasting results your carpet deserves.
