Which of the following is NOT a typical cause of carpet delamination?

Improper Installation
Overly Aggressive Extraction
Proper Disengaging
Improper Pad/Cushion

The correct answer is: Proper Disengaging

Carpet delamination is often the result of factors leading to the separation of the carpet’s backing from the fibers. Proper disengaging, which refers to the intentional and careful removal of carpet without causing damage, does not cause delamination. In fact, it is involved in maintaining the integrity of the carpet. The correct answer highlights that intentional handling during professional carpet removal should not lead to delamination; instead, it is about minimizing any adverse effects on the carpet structure. In contrast, improper installation, overly aggressive extraction methods, and the use of inappropriate padding can all create conditions conducive to delamination, as they disrupt the adhesive bond or damage the materials involved. Thus, “proper disengaging” stands out as an action that preserves, rather than harms, the carpet structure.
