If there is damage to the carpet on your stairs, then you should have it repaired. You may want to learn more about the different problems that could happen if you decide to procrastinate on having it taken care of. Should you leave damaged carpet on your stairs, you should know that the following can happen.

You will have a glaring eyesore in your home

You may be able to look past the damage to the stairs as time goes on. However, just know that anyone else who comes into your home will likely zone right in on that carpet damage. With the stairs being at a higher height than the room your guests are in, the damage will be even closer to eye-level, and this is one of the reasons why it will be so noticeable to them. 

Another reason is that the stairs will have carpeting all the way up that likely matches the carpet in the room and that means any holes or tears will look much different than all the surrounding surfaces. Having the damage repaired can give you back your inviting home that you may work so hard to keep in nice shape, so you can be excited to invite people over. 

You will have a hazard right in your home

You want your home to be a safe space for everyone that lives in it, as well as everyone that comes over to visit your family. However, the stairs can be a major area of concern because falling down them can generally cause much worse injuries than one would sustain if they fell on the flat floor. 

You want to keep the stairs safe by keeping them free of anything, including toys, shoes, or other tripping hazards. When you have damaged carpet on the stairs, then this is a tripping hazard that you can't simply pick up. The only way to make the stairs safe for people to go up and down again is to have the damage repaired. 

You may see the damage get worse quickly

The design of the stairs puts more stress on the carpet covering them. So, when you do have damaged carpet on the stairs, the damage will grow in size and get more serious quicker than damaged carpet in other areas that are flat surfaces would. The larger the damage gets, the worse all of the concerns detailed above will become.
