Tile Repair
Damaged tiles not only can cause physical damage, they can also turn into a health concern.
Tile Repair
Damaged tiles and grout are unsightly. What’s more, it can become a hazard for anyone walking on it.
Dangers of Broken Tiles
Broken tiles are extremely sharp. Walking barefoot on them can result in a bad cut. This holds true for toddlers learning to walk and can even hurt your pet’s paws. Let alone what can happen to a guest that doesn’t realize that there are broken tiles.
Further Damage
Cracked tiles and grout can cause further damage to the floor. Water can seep in under and cause structural damage. It is also highly likely that mold can start to grow thus creating a health hazard.

Why Does this Happen?
Tiles contract and expand over time. This forces the tiles to press up against each other. Eventually the grout is the first to give way due to the nature that the tile is a more durable material.
Time Matters
As we mentioned, mold can form and the subfloor can even be weakened. Surrounding tiles and grout will receive extra stress when the damaged tiles start to shift around. This is especially true in damp environments like kitchens and bathrooms.
