Question:

how do you patch berber carpet?

I have an approximately 2'x2' section of carpet that is snagged and needs to be replaced.

Answer:

There is a patch kit available at home depot. If you have extra carpet of the same kind that's great, if not, look in a closet or area where your room is carpeted but not seen and take some of that carpet. What you do is cut out an area a little larger than the area that needs to be replaced with the tool in the kit. Then cut a new piece, line up the grain or weave of the berber and put an adhesive on the backing or sometimes it is just a tape and roll it with a roller from the kit. It works great!!
While the repair may never be invisible, remove a 2' by 2' section from a closet or hidden area and use this piece as a templet to remove the damaged area. Place double stick tape on the floor around the cut area and insert the replacement piece. Of course it is best to use a hot glue or seam iron. replace the hidden are with the damaged piece
