Five Signs You Need Grout Repair
Our grout repair service is essential for homeowners who are experiencing the following issues:
- Cracked or Crumbling Grout: This can occur due to age, normal wear and tear, or improper installation. Gaps in between your tile and grout can lead to subsurface decay and water damage.
- Stained or Discolored Grout: Over time, grout can become stained from spills, mold and mildew, making it look dirty and unattractive. Persistent discoloration that doesn't improve with cleaning indicates the grout is compromised and should be replaced.
- Loose or Missing Tiles: Damaged grout can cause tiles to become loose or fall out, creating safety hazards. If your tiling grouting isn't effectively holding the tiles in place, it’s time to replace it.
- Water Damage: Grout is water resistant, but when damaged, it can allow water to seep through, causing water damage to walls, floors, and underlying structures. You can spot potential water damage by testing for soft or spongy areas around tiles.
- Mold and Mildew: Mold and mildew that is persistent and returns quickly after cleaning indicates the grout is not sealed properly or is damaged. Since mold and mildew thrive in moist environments, damaged grout can lead to continuous problems that could impact your health.
New Tile Grout to Improve Durability and Aesthetics
Depending on your situation, Mr. Handyman’s local pros will use one of the following types of grouts to ensure your repair project looks great and protects the surface below the tile::
- Cementitious: This is the most common type of grout and includes sanded and unsanded varieties for wider joints and narrow joints, respectively.
- Epoxy: Durable and resistant to stains and chemicals; ideal for high-traffic areas and surfaces exposed to harsh conditions.
- Furan: Similar to epoxy grout but with a higher resistance to chemicals and temperature fluctuations.
- Pre-Mixed: Ready-to-use grout that offers convenience and consistency.
