Carpet warranties are limited and specific. They typically protect against manufacturing defects in material or workmanship. Coverage often excludes damage caused by improper maintenance, pets, spills, or heavy traffic. To maintain a valid warranty, you must keep records of professional cleanings performed at required intervals and ensure the installation was conducted by certified professionals using approved padding. Review your specific product warranty for details on exclusions and the claims process.
