waves in carpet

[lust1kiddo]

We showed up at a job and these waves were in the carpet from a previous cleaner. I did some spot checking and resigned to say it was like permanent pile distortion. The guy must have used a huge floor machine and either too high heat or way heavy or something. Then he must have realized it and made an adjustment because it was only on the top floor and staircase.

I have never seen anything like that.

One for the books big Billy hasnt seen it. Did you have they ability to look at the backing?

 

[Doug Cox]

I would guess a carpet defect.

 

[Steve CGD guy]

Looks like a square scrub with weights was used on it!

 

[lust1kiddo]

What is a square scrub ?


....

 

[Erik]

Looks to have had rubber backed runner down.

 

[Vivers]

Not from cleaning IMO

 

[dealtimeman]

I don't think that was directly caused by another cleaner.

Pattern is too perfect, look like something done in manufacturing.

They look like Tire Tracks.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yep I used to leave tracks just like that. N-50's with Cragar super sports and 383 Hemi will leave tracks just about that wide. Do they drive their car upstairs?

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Holy shit!

The thread title is misleading, there are no waves showing in these pix.

The "zig zag" pattern I see in mill defect carpets that get installed in cheap landlord apartments sometimes.

Now your gonna be the cleaner that caused it. Run away.

It looks like a tri stitch tufted goods . Also with a shearing problem.

You guys sure it ain't one of them fancy new rotaries?

 

[dealtimeman]

I need an Unthanks button.
