Identifying Tile & Grout Failure

Tile problems often start small but can escalate quickly, especially with the humidity changes common in Chattanooga, TN. A single cracked tile may allow moisture to reach the setting bed, while missing grout lets water migrate under neighboring pieces. Recognizing early signs of trouble helps protect nearby surfaces and reduces the need for extensive repairs later.

• Loose or Rocking Tiles: Tiles that shift underfoot indicate bond failure with the substrate.
• Hollow Sounds: A hollow sound when tapped suggests voids beneath the surface.
• Structural Cracks: Impact or movement can cause hairline cracks that spread over time.
• Moisture Damage: Discoloration or soft spots in wet areas suggest water intrusion.

Our Assessment & Repair Process

We start by assessing the entire tiled area, not just the visible damage. This includes tapping tiles to locate hollow spots and checking grout lines for movement. Once we identify the compromised areas, we carefully remove damaged tiles, taking extreme care to preserve surrounding pieces. We then prepare the surface, addressing any voids that contributed to the failure, and reset or replace the tiles so they sit level and secure.

Our technicians also utilize low-pressure, high-temperature steam cleaning to lift embedded dirt and prepare the area for finishing. This step is crucial for ensuring that new grout and adhesives bond correctly. By cleaning the surface deeply without aggressive chemicals, we ensure the repair is not only durable but safe for your indoor environment.

FAQs

Can you repair just one cracked tile?

Yes. In many situations, we can perform Tile Repair or Tile Replacement on a single cracked tile or a small group. We remove the damaged piece, prep the substrate, and reset a new tile to line up perfectly with the rest of the floor.

Will the repair match my existing bathroom?

We work carefully to blend repaired areas with surrounding surfaces. We pay attention to layout and spacing, and we select grout colors that align with your existing joints. For older installations, we may recommend Grout Sealing to create a uniform appearance across old and new sections.

Is your process safe for pets?

Yes. We prioritize safety by using eco-friendly cleaning solutions and low-pressure steam. Our methods reduce the need for strong chemical fumes, making the process safe for occupied homes with children and pets.

How long does a repair visit take?

Time depends on the complexity of the issue. A small repair in a hallway may be quick, while work on a larger shower floor takes longer to ensure proper curing. We provide a time estimate during your evaluation and advise when it is safe to walk on the area.
