I own a condo and I have old indoor outdoor carpeting glued onto my concrete balcony. Getting the carpet up is not a problem it's getting the glue off. It's a condo and all the units have to look the same. How can I get this old glue off without disturbing my neighbors?

I had a very similar commercial space; 1500 sq ft of carpet glued directly to slab. I watched your video but no way in hell was gonna go 6” at a time. I pulled up a couple feet of carpet from corner, and cut a slit in it away from corner. Had a 6’ horse rope and tied a loop knot at each end. Ran rope through hole then hooked both rope loops on trailer hitch of my riding mower. And pulled it all up. Carpet ripped a couple times but just cut new hole in carpet and did it again. Started at 10am and was done by 1:00pm. All 1500 sq ft

We purchased a carpet removal tool from Amazon. Works well. Previous floor was carpet too and so am also fighting with two layers or glue. Any suggestions?

You are the bomb. That six inch thing is the key. so much easier than even a foot. lotsa blades, but worth it! is the carpet glue the same that will be used if i put armstrong vct down? do i have to scrub it? or just get it flat? Thanks so much.
@CarpetExpertBlueprint5 жыл бұрын
Lisa Armstrong well thank you and thanks for connecting! Vct adhesive is different than carpet adhesive for sure and holds way better! They carry it at all the big box stores but if you have any other questions on it feel free to reach out! Also I really wouldn’t bother scrubbing it down (although some may disagree) just scrape it down so it’s flat and any imperfections will not show through the new flooring

I'm going to be removing the outdoor carpet on our front porch sometime this summer. I've already taken some pieces off since the glue wasn't holding it any longer. I'm hoping that glue has failed (or is very weak) on the rest of it as well. Because we have a porch that's almost as wide as the house.

Looks like that is some pretty sturdy "newer" carpeting. I have the issue of trying this with older mega glued down lanai carpeting that just tears apart when grabbing it to pull it up and back. Would a floor scraper be the better method? Get the glue and carpet up in one shot?

What did you do? "Older mega glued down lanai carpet" is exactly what we got. Lowes said they no longer install unless it's an air conditioned room. Lol

@@micheleh5269 Cut in strips like the video then used Vise grip channel locks locked down at a corner and rolled them back when clamped to a folded corner section. Then worked a 5 way blade under it as I pulled back on the vise grips. Took a while but eventually got all the carpeting up. Then used Sentinel formula to break down the old glue and bought a floor scraper as well with the Sentinel formula. Got it all up after a lot of elbow grease but I know I will never be putting carpeting back down.

Hi. I just bought a house with glued carpet in the laundry room/ back porch. Cement underneath. The carpet is disgusting but seems stuck pretty good. This was helpful. So then what about the glue residue that will be left, any advice? Can I just put some vinyl tile planks over it! Cannot do the luan overlay because my water tank system is in there. I I appreciate any advice thank you very much! Oh, maybe just do laminate and leave the square intact under the pump. What is your opinion?

@CarpetExpertBlueprint6 жыл бұрын
Most Likely We Do It Services vct is vinyl tiles, very common in commercial properties. On this particular project we just used floor patch to clean up the unevenness but if it was in the budget for the client we should of ran 1/4 luan everywhere to really clean it up as these floors were ugly!
