Tufted carpet backing commonly contains multiple layers bonded with adhesive compounds. Excessive saturation, high heat, incompatible chemicals, or repeated flexing can weaken the bond. Symptoms include ripples, bubbles, loose edges, soft areas, and backing separation during removal. Localized damage may be repairable, while widespread delamination may require carpet replacement.
