| Action-Bac Carpet: |
Action-Bac, a Trademark name of the Amoco Fabrics Company. The term Action-Bac carpet, relates to the secondary backing of a carpet, which is a stretchable backing. Mitigation and Restorative Drying Note: Action-Bac carpets when wet, and during their drying in place, will tend to stretch. Even after reinstallation after drying an Action-Bac carpet still having higher than normal humidity coming up from a wet slab or subfloor will appear to be baggy, slack or loose, which, in fact, it is. Liability Note: The loose (relaxed) carpet can cause trips and falls. Under these situations Action-Bac carpet may require its removal until the excess moisture from a slab or subfloor can be abated. Caution Note: Do not cut excess yardage off the perimeter of an Action-Bac carpet. This may cause the carpet to split at the seams or pull away from the walls after the subfloor is dry. |
