Default carpet ripples

the wall to wall carpet in the master bedroom was installed about 13 years
ago and still is in great shape, but has slowly started to ripple in spots.
someone told me to try and run an iron over the areas w/ a towel between the
iron and the carpet. is this something that will work or do i need a carpet
guy to comein and restretch it and retack it down?


Ironing will likely do more harm than good.

Rent a carpet stretcher, or a guy with a carpet stretcher.
