Getting rolling equipment caught on a grout joint, chipped tiles, or even missing tiles can be frustrating. Missing tiles could even be a serious trip hazard for employees or customers. Avouch’s warehouse is continuously stocked with commonly used tiles for kitchen and back of house applications and frequently used tile in general. Any other tile is obtainable through vastly stocked vendors.

Missing tile

Re-grouting a kitchen or parts of a kitchen is definitely not something to overlook. Failure to refill low or even empty grout joints could lead to serious problems in a surprisingly short time. Health departments, total quality, and quality assurance facilities will lookout for these problems so it’s best to stay on top of these things. If you begin to notice low grout joints, cracked or missing tile, or floating tiles, don’t hesitate to give Indianapolis General Commercial Contractor, Avouch, a call.

Concrete is far better at holding bacteria than tile and grout so it’s best to handle such problems hastily. Missing grout can easily allow water to seep under the tile which can erode the mortar holding the tile to the subflooring (which is usually concrete if there is tile) and cause the tile to break or simply come loose. Most broken or missing tile problems can be traced back to a problem with the grout. Keeping up with grout maintenance can save you more money and stress than you think when you consider the price difference between replacing tile and re-grouting.
