Investigation and repairs
Tile Remediation & Tile Repairs
Repair the confirmed tiled area without automatically removing every tile
Cracked grout, loose or drummy tiles, failed sealant and moisture beneath tiled finishes can have different causes. The tiled system, substrate, movement joints, drainage and moisture source should be assessed before selecting the repair.
Signs that further investigation may be required
- Cracked, missing or powdering grout.
- Loose, drummy or displaced tiles.
- Efflorescence or staining through joints.
- Failed perimeter or movement-joint sealant.
- Moisture affecting adjoining walls, floors or ceilings.
What DAC checks
- Tile condition, bond and movement patterns.
- Grout, sealant, perimeter and movement joints.
- Falls, drainage and ponding.
- Moisture mapping and controlled water testing.
- Substrate and waterproofing condition where accessible.
Repair and remediation direction
Suitable works may include localised tile replacement, re-grouting, sealant renewal, epoxy-grout repair, crack treatment, resin injection and post-repair testing.
Loose substrates, widespread movement, poor falls or extensive waterproofing failure may require tile removal and conventional reconstruction.
Arrange a Tile Remediation Assessment
We can assess the tiled system and set out a repair matched to the confirmed cause.
