Default Carpet comming up

In a couple of location on my carpet the carpet has come undone from
the tack strips. How do I get it to stay back down?

Felix,

There are two tools in the carpet profession that get the carpet
stretched back in place. Both can be rented. If its just a few inches
thats come loose, a carpet kicker will do the job. If it's more than a
couple of feet and/or the carpet is buckled, then you will need a power
stretcher. There a lots of sites on the internet that tell how to use
these tools. Good luck.
