Berber carpet repair in Calgary by Carpet Experts Calgary: snagged or unravelling loops cut out and replaced with a matching plug, so the run stops spreading.

Berber is a loop pile. When one loop is pulled, the yarn feeds out of the next loops in the row, like a ladder in a stocking. That's why a small snag left alone can turn into a long run.
If the run started at a seam, we'll check the join too. See carpet seam repair. For burns, bleach spots and other damage, see carpet repair.

A single loop sticking up can be snipped level with the pile. If a row has already pulled out, leave the yarn. It can often be glued back in. Never pull it.
With carpet from the same roll, it blends closely. Sun-faded rooms can show a slight shade difference at first.
