Noxious shower odors are no laughing matter.  Does your shower have a fusty smell, even though it has been professionally cleaned?

At The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro, we know that unseemly shower smells can put a damper on your mood.  There are typically two origins of funky shower odors.  One is the drain.  Drain odors are usually quickly identified, as the water and bacteria in the P-trap can produce a gaseous olfactory blast.  The musty odors are trickier, and most homeowners might not imagine that that mustiness is originating from their grout.  If you are dealing with a funny shower smell, even though your shower has been professionally cleaned, it’s time to consider San Diego regrouting by The Grout Medic.

Freshen your shower with our San Diego regrouting!

For aging grout, which has had many years of dirt and bacteria build-up, even the best grout cleaning might not eliminate the staining or the musty odor.  The adverse odor you’re experiencing in your shower could be the result of unseen mold spores.  Meaning, your shower could appear squeaky clean, but still have mold deeply embedded in the pores of your grout.  This is not unusual for aged grout, especially if it has not had yearly or twice-yearly professional grout cleanings and sealings.  Not to worry, The Grout Medic offers a solution for your smell-adverse shower.  Our professional San Diego regrouting will eliminate not only unsightly grout, but grout that has seen too many years of mold and mildew build-up!

What is regrouting, exactly?

The Grout Medic’s professional regrouting service does not include applying new grout over your old grout.  Proper regrouting includes total removal of all remnants of the offending grout first.  Then, the area is cleaned thoroughly.  After that, all-new grout is applied to your tiled surface.  The great thing about replacing your tired, icky grout, is that it will eliminate instances of mold and mildew, but the new grout we use is formulated to repel future odor-causing dirt and bacteria and staining.  Add to that, your new grout will receive a professional coat of grout sealer to further allay this type of build-up from happening again!

Does San Diego regrouting have to be done in the same grout color?

Nope!  If you want to give your tiled surface a facelift, you can choose to regrout with a new color.  When The Grout Medic visits your home for your professional in-home regrouting consultation, you can discuss grout color options with our technician.  Regrouting gives you a perfect opportunity to reinvigorate the aesthetics of your tile.  Whether you choose something darker, lighter, or even the same color, you can rest assured that your smelly grout days will be behind you with The Grout Medic’s thorough regrouting service.
