Seams in carpet showing

I just had carpet installed in 6 rooms, every carpet seam is showing.  What is the problem?  It's only 3 weeks old.  We paid a lot for this carpet!

You got a crummy installation job. COMPLAIN LOUDLY!

No installer can guarantee the seam will be invisible.  Think of carpet as a textile.  you see the seams in your clothes-- and you may see them in the carpet.  The carpet & rug institute www.carpet-rug.org publishes the standard for carpet installation-- and includes a statement to this effect. 

Some carpets are more prone to this than others. 

Now there are installation or manufacturing related.  Like a cut not made properly.  A gap in the seam tape.  A difference in color (side match issues).  Fibers caught in the seam. 

Call back the retailer and ask them to review the issue.  They may be able to roll it with a star roller, or rework it a bit.
