heck if I know, but, it is at a column separating the living room from the dinning room
looks like either a knee kicker or PS slipped,
not a spike, they make a nice round hole.
complaint turned in as a bald spot from tufts/fibers coming out of the carpet.
I agree, patch it fast, move on.
I have never used a spike or stinger, so I don't know what kind of hole they leave. to me it looks like a kicker ripped it or a stretcher. The stringies are coming out everywhere. To me that is an indication the hole came from the top. when I see a hole that came from forklift damage, those stringies aren't present like that. I am NOT an inspector though!
Why does the carpet look like two completely different colors in this photo? Is it just the lighting and/or camera? Also, how far into the outside of the roll was this "flaw", because it certainly looks like something that would occur from a delivery issue, just due to the look of a rip. That's the only time I've ever seen this particular appearance with the secondary backing poking up.
What? Did someone say I should be an inspector? NOT!
