Carpet stretching Process: the Anatomy of Carpet Stretching Explained 
True Carpet Stretching is the installation of carpet using a power stretcher that is on a pole system that has claws that dig into the latex backing of the carpet, and using leverage applies about 674 pounds of force on the carpet. The carpet is Power stretched up to 8 different directions under tension (see diagram to the right), and then under tension is reattached onto the tack strip, then is trimmed and tucked along the perimeter of the room to the sub-floor, usually either concrete or wood.

This was probably because you went to a big box store who outsources to the lowest bidder and they know you wont see this for 3 to 5 years and so they don’t care and provide no real recourse for this type of installation, which in most cases, violates the carpet manufacture’s warranty.
