Step 5 · Tighten Loose Carpet or Treads
If carpet is loose, use a carpet kicker or tack strip to re-secure it. For loose wood treads, tighten any visible screws or nails. If the treads are very loose, professional repair may be needed. If there are carpet runners, ensure they are also securely fastened.
