We had some water issues in our basement. On one side of the basement, the carpet and pad got wet.
It has happened before but not to this degree.
We pulled up the carpet and dried out the pad and carpet.
Question...attached is a picture of some of the tack strip. The nails are still intact and can hold the carpet. They were rusted from the last time water got on them and have marked the underside of the carpet some.
I've been a carpet layer for 40 years
U only replace tack strip if its damaged
thats pretty bad and needs replacement
Pretty obvious to contractors
Really no big deal

We are moving the current opening for the closet and framing a new wall along the red line. The red line will be a solid wall and the current closet space will be a bathroom with tile. So, my thought is to cut the carpet along the yellow dotted line, pull it back and then once the wall is framed, have a carpet guy stretch, tack and cut the carpet to fit that space. I am sure I am over thinking this, but does my plan seem like a good one? I don't know much about carpet and I want to make sure I leave enough for a carpet guy to work with when stretching it. Thanks!
