Delaminated Carpet

Delaminated carpet is caused, most of the time, by the improper removal of the carpet while it is attatched to the tack stip. Simple training in the proper methods of instalation and removal of carpet will prevent the delamination.

Properly trained emergency services technicians know the proper techniques of carpet removal. Improperly trained workers remove the carpet with a set of pliers and delaminate the carpet. This occurs when the wet carpet is removed and the carpet and backing seperate. The proper method is to use a kicker to ease the carpet off the tack strip.

Using the services of companies that employ non IICRC trained technicians is a problem and will cost you and your insurance company more money. Insist that the company you hire is not only certified by the IICRC but that they have IICRC Certified Technicians actually on the job and doing the work. Many companies do not want to spend the money to train all of their employees but only train a few managers. Unfortunately the manager is usually in the office and not doing the work. All certified technicians have certification cards that they carry with them on the job. Ask to see the level of their certification and training. Any trained technician is proud to show you their level of training and expertise.
