You probably
know that excess moisture can damage a carpet, but do you know what type of
damage it does? When carpeting is left wet, it can lead to a condition called "carpet
delamination," which means the carpet’s secondary backing has separated
from its primary backing. Once a wall-to-wall carpet has been delaminated, you
get a wrinkled carpet that can no longer be re-stretched and will have to be
replaced soon.
