Buckling can be caused by improper installation, high humidity, using the wrong cushion or by moving heavy furniture. To correct the problem, remove all furniture from the room and have the carpet power stretched.

  2. No need to glue. The carpet just needs to be re-stretched and attached to the tack strip which should be around the perimeter of the room(s).
