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: Can you make a crawl space liveable?

• <div><p>Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between 40-oz and 60-oz carpet?

• <div><p>The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. </p></div>

Q: How many years does good carpet last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Carpet lasts</a> between five and 15 years. However, your carpet's life span will depend on several factors, such as its type, cushion, and the amount of foot traffic it receives. After 10 years, most carpet will show some signs of wear and tear, which might include fading, wrinkling, and loss of texture.</p></div>

Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.</p></div>

Although the project turned out to be more complicated and took longer than expected, this had little to do with the builder or his sub-contractors. Primarily the delays were due to weather, financing issues, and poor communications on the part of the town's code enforcement officer. Let...
