I have a carpet pulling out the sides of the carpet some are missing in the carpet. The carpet one is saying it is been eaten away it may be true but parts of it has pulled away from the edge of the carpet. I am wanting a person like you to come out and look and tell me what you think?It started 3 years into the carpet being laid we did not get onto it . It is 8 years old now but looks like. 20 year old carpet .

Carpet installed in 2004 before I moved in has been destroyed in about a 20 square foot area. (Damage was from pipe leak). My insurance company wants proof that my carpet is no longer manufactured in order to replace the entire bedroom. How do I find out this information?

Marcy, there are tens of thousands of carpet styles, patterns, colors, unless you have paperwork showing the carpet style, it is highly unlikely you will be able to check it out unless you locate someone that has that information. Carpet styles change frequently and on a carpet this age it is doubtful that it would still be available. Even if you could locate it, new carpet is not going to match carpet that is over 20 years old.
