Carpet Seam FAQs
What causes carpet seams to separate?
Seams typically separate due to improper initial installation (not enough adhesive or heat), or excessive wear and traffic over a poorly maintained area.
Can a repaired seam be made invisible?
In most cases, a professional repair technician can make the seam virtually unnoticeable, especially on cut-pile carpets. Patterned or loop carpets are slightly harder to conceal but will still be structurally sound.
