How to Repair a Split Carpet Seam
- 1). Measure the length of the split seam.
- 2). Cut carpet tape (available at hardware and home supply stores) to fit.
- 3
Pull back one edge of the carpet. Using a pencil, draw a line on the floor along the edge where the other part of the carpet meets the floor (see A). This will determine the center point where you'll place the tape. - 4). Pull back both edges of the carpet to make room for the tape.
- 5). Remove the tack paper from both sides of the carpet tape.
- 6
Center the tape over the pencil line, then lay the tape on the floor (see B). Get help for this one if you can; it's easier to apply the tape if someone holds up one of the carpet edges for you. - 7). Slowly roll down the carpet on the tape, making sure the carpet's edges meet.
- 8). Walk on the taped area or place a heavy object over it.
