Hopefully not distracting the original, but is
there a way to check freshly installed carpet to
find out if it was stretched tight enough? Or will
we just have to wait and see what happens?
Having some installed Wednesday.
Thanks
As a general rule of thumb with residential institutions, pinch the carpet nap with your thumb and index knuckle and gently pull it up . It should fall rather quickly. If you can still see an air pocket under it after 3 seconds or so it needs to be tighter. Some areas may not get stretched as much as others in order to not pull a seam apart .
