How Water Damage Affects Your Home
Tile is often installed in wet areas like showers and backsplashes. When grout or caulk fails, moisture can move into the spaces beneath the tile. Over time, this weakens the bond, causing tiles to sound hollow or shift underfoot. Moisture that lingers behind tile panels can create conditions for structural deterioration. Our role is to evaluate the condition of your tile and recommend tile and grout repair steps that fit with any additional work your home may require.

When you contact us about water-damaged tile, we start by listening to what you have noticed. We then schedule a free assessment to understand both what is happening on the surface and what the visible signs may indicate about conditions behind your tile.
