To repair the holes in your carpets you need to remove the damaged area or patch your carpet and fix the damaged area. For carpet rip repair patches are the most appropriate solution. To patch carpet using a patch repair kit with adhesive disks first measure the damaged area of the carpeting and place duct tape around it. If the patch is to be applied against a wall and the room has baseboard molding your two options are.

Next measure and cut the replacement patch. Because the donor area is filled in either with a piece of remnant carpet or is left unrepaired carpet patching is considered to be imperfect but a net overall improvement. Carpet patching is a simple system of carefully cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with a patch of donor carpet of the same size. The carpet knife is very sharp so use with caution.

When done correctly this repair eradicates the damaged area with minimal or no evidence. A remove the baseboard and reinstall it after laying down the carpet patch or b leave the baseboard in place and install the tack strip 1 4 away from the baseboard as described in the next step. You will also need a roll of one sided carpet tape a flat edge screwdriver a carpet knife a seam cutter a carpenter s framing square and some heavy objects to set on the patch for a few hours. Remnants from the installation of the carpet make the job a little easier.
