Can grout be repaired?
If you are researching solutions to cracked or crumbling grout, you might not have been aware that grout can actually be repaired.
Yes, grout can be repaired. The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro specializes in all grout and tile maladies. This includes everything from dirty grout lines to grout that is cracking and crumbling. When it comes to San Diego grout repair, trust the experienced professionals at The Grout Medic.
Why does grout crack and crumble?
The most common types of grout are cement-based, and there are a few reasons that these solutions begin to fail. It can be the poor quality of the grout brand, or even an improper grout mixture. While both things can affect the quality of the initial grout application, it is also important to point out that cement-based grouts should be sealed periodically to remain strong – and many homeowners never have their grout sealed at all. Even high-quality grout, which is properly-mixed and applied, can end up failing because it has not been properly maintained. The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro recommends at least one professional grout cleaning per year and sealing at least every two years. Proper maintenance will ensure the longest life for your grout.
How do you repair damaged grout?
You will find that there are many do-it-yourself grout repair tutorials online. While there is a lot of information out there, The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro never recommends repairing your own grout. The tedious nature of removing the damaged grout, and thoroughly cleaning the area before application puts many weekend warriors off – and it should! This is because improper removal and preparation will result in an improper application, which will soon have your grout cracking and crumbling again. Add to that, the bargain grout and improper mixing procedures mentioned above, are often employed by inexperienced do-it-yourselfers. We must also remember the specialized tools required to perform a grout repair project. Most of us do not have these tools lying around at home. These are just a few reasons that we recommend enlisting a professional San Diego grout repair company.
