A carpet inspection usually is a result of some type of a dispute or claim. For example, the consumer buys a carpet and three months later it is not performing up to the standards that they thought it should. Rather than take the opinion of salesmen or manufacturer who might have a vested interest, the consumer would contact a third party inspector who is trained in this. The inspector will come out and do a third party unbiased inspection, maybe even testing, depending on the condition or what the problem is and give them a report. These inspectors often serve as expert witnesses. Their reports are used in the court cases to settle this type of claim or dispute. Also sometimes people use the inspectors if they are going to sell or buy a new house, to have a carpet evaluated as to the condition and standard; how many more years it might have; what kind of care to give the carpet; if there are any problems that might be there, etcetera. This is simply because buying a house is a major purchase and sometimes people like to have the inspection of carpets and floors involved; carpet, ceramic or wood flooring is a pretty expensive part of the furnishings.
Carpet inspection is not usually included in the home inspection. It is almost always it is just the structure itself. They are looking at the roofs, the attics, and the basement looking for termites and things along thoes lines, this is typically a content item. It is some kind of dispute between either a carpet sales company and a consumer or manufacturer.
