the OP reports the carpet is 10 years old. aggresive stretching may rip it.....




at this point live with it, stretch it a little and live with it.....




or replace the carpet. 10 years is a long time for carpet..


We just replaced 20 year old carpet - still in good condition but

went to hardwood. Good carpet can last a LONG time. Cheap "berber",

not so long


When you say"good carpet" do you mean wool or synthetic?

HB

Both. Good wool or good Nylon can both last a long time. Polyethelene
is crap.
