Can my carpet be repaired.

When done correctly this repair eradicates the damaged area with minimal or no evidence. Patching a carpet is a task that just about every homeowner will face at one time or another. If no remnants can be found cut a small portion of carpet from the back of a closet or other out of the way space to provide a repair piece. Carpet is easier to cut from the back so flip over your template piece and place it on the back of the patch material.

For tiny to small. Fold back the carpet and start a fan. Cut around the soaked section of the pad and scrape it up. Grab a piece of medium grit sandpaper and gently rub the affected area out of the carpet.

Dry out wet carpet right away. Spills cigarette burns and other mishaps can ruin a small area of wall to wall carpeting making it necessary to remove the section as a way to repair the damage. But take care first to match the nap direction of the carpet and patch. Carpet patching is a simple system of carefully cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with a patch of donor carpet of the same size.

Because the donor area is filled in either with a piece of remnant carpet or is left unrepaired carpet patching is considered to be imperfect but a net overall improvement.
