  1. How to repair Carpet at home: step by step Guide

  2. HELLO! I am Ramsay I am here because I love to share knowledge. You can find me at: https://bit.ly/2GoKASQ Here are the 8 steps to repair a damaged carpet

  3. Damaged Carpet

  4. 1. Find a Remnant Piece When done correctly, this repair method eradicates the damaged Area of carpet with minimal or no evidence. Remnants from the installation of the carpet make the job a little easier and 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.

  5. 2. Trim the Repair Piece Position an empty can on the nap side of the repair piece and press down firmly, allowing the rim to make a clear impression on carpet. Then cut around the outline of carpet using a sharp utility knife.

  6. 3. Mark the Nap's Direction Use tape marked with an arrow to show the direction of the carpet's nap on the repair piece. Then use another length of marked tape to check the direction of the nap near the damaged area of the carpet.

  7. 4. Outline the Damaged Area Using the same can or container (used earlier), press it down firmly over the damaged part.

  8. 5. Remove the Damaged Carpet Carefully cut along the outline with a utility knife (image 1). The diameter of a standard can is a good guideline for the size of a replacement piece. The goal is to keep the cut-out area (image 2) as small as possible but still allow carpet tape to be inserted into the space and laid flat beneath the carpet backing

  9. 6. Insert the Carpet Tape To ensure the carpet tape doesn't work its way back through the opening, cut a length 2 to 3 inches wider than the diameter of the cut-out area. (Carpet tape is available in double-sided and single-sided versions; the single-sided type generally works best for this type of repair.) Peel the backing away from the adhesive side of the tape and carefully insert the piece into the cut-out area, smoothing it flat from below so that it sticks firmly to the carpet backing around the perimeter of the opening.

  10. 7. Trim Longer Fibers After the piece is fitted into the opening trim any fibers that are uneven with the surrounding carpet. To even out the difference, lay a pair of scissors flat across the new section and carefully trim off just enough to "blend" the piece into the fibers.

  11. 8. Press the Repair in Place Set a heavy piece of furniture, stack of books, etc. over the repaired section of carpet for a day or two to ensure it's fully "integrated."

  12. This is a very easy process to repair a small portion of damaged carpet at home but if you have a big damage then you’d have to consult an experienced carpet repairing company.
