Buckled up a little,

[steamclean]

I did an office carpet today and towards the end of the job a few of the rooms started to buckle a little, so I cut back on the heat. The wand was able to lift the carpet up a little bit even with the glide on.
I think it should settle down once it dries, or I hope it does.

Probably nothing to do with the heat.
It's the moisture and a poor install

First time it happened to us, i FREEKED :shock:
Since then, I've seen some start to buckle just from pre-spray .

It should be just like it was before you started once completely dry


..l.T.A.

I spoke to Jim Pemberton today about it, and he explained why it happens.
He is a very knowledgeable man.

Thank you Jim

First time that happened to me was a wool blend in a library of 10k sf.. Center of the room swelled up to about 4 foot diameter and 18 inches high. I nearly ran out of the building screaming. It did return to its shape, but man that was freaky!

Better buckling than shrinking.. Had a porty cleaner call us in to restretch a woven wool wilton. Its shrank nearly 6 inches all around the room.. As it comes to find out, the guy was pooring a bucket of sudsy water on the bad spots and trying to suck it up with his portable extractor :shock: Needless to say he doesn't clean carpets anymore as that one didn't restrtech!
