Change in temperature?




I recently delivered a portrait that was in perfect condition when I left it. A week later, the mother has called to say that the canvas now has "ripply waves" on the edges. She has it hanging over the fireplace and has stated that they have had many fires burning over the holidays. My studio stays pretty cool, if not cold at times. Is the reason for this stretching of the canvas due to the temperature difference? Is there anything I can do other than having the canvas restretched to fix this? I have never restretched a canvas, this makes me a little nervous. And last, I will do what I can to help her, but is this ultimately my responsibility?
