How to fix a hollow tile

There are always various items that come up in maintaining a property and this is one that will affect tenants and homeowners alike.

The Problem - there is a loose tile right in the middle of your floor.  Now this won't probably have to much affect on you until it breaks, but it can be annoying and also time consuming to pull the tile up, scrape all of the adhesive and put it back down.  You will likely break the tile and make cause a larger mess if you attempt to pull it up.

There is an easier way - with a product called fix a floor that can be found at major home improvement stores.

I have used this product many times for hard to reach tile fixes.  The process is very simple.

1. drill holes in the grout surrounding the tile.
2. vacuum up any loose grout from the holes.
3. use the fix a floor product via a caulk gun (instructions are on the package)
4. put a heavy weight on the floor for 24-48 hours
5. grout over the holes that were drilled into the grout.

There are many videos on how to use this product on YouTube.  Just another fix quick tip from Kajuka Properties.**Please consult a professional if you are unsure of the process.
