Why does padding stick to the floors?

• <div><p>There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:</p><ul><li><p>There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.</p></li><li><p>The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.</p></li><li><p>Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.</p></li></ul><p>If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-smell-pet-urine-out-carpet.htm">removing pet urine odors</a> to prevent future problems.</p></div>

Q: Should you use a carpet repair kit?

• <div><p>While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area. </p><p>In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).</p></div>

Q: Should carpet be replaced after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Carpets should always be replaced after smoke damage. Particulates and chemicals can penetrate the carpet into the carpet padding, and it can be difficult to fully remove all traces of smoke or fire damage. If water is used to put out the fire, it can soak through the carpet, leading to mold growth and other issues. It&rsquo;s best to be safe and replace your carpets after a fire.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between standard and moisture barrier padding?

• <div><p>Standard padding works like a sponge. It absorbs liquid, soaking up every drop of moisture that hits it. Moisture barrier padding does the opposite because it has a waterproof coating made of plastic film, rubber, or treated foam. It doesn&rsquo;t absorb spills and keeps them on the surface instead, so you can clean them up before they damage your subfloor. </p></div>

Q: How often should I replace my carpet in a home with kids and pets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">The life span of carpet</a> in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material&rsquo;s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.</p></div>
