Tile & Grout Restoration

At Leo Carpet Care  & Restoration LLC Tile and grout restoration is a comprehensive process aimed at rejuvenating tiled surfaces to their original or near-original condition. It typically involves several steps:

1. **Surface Inspection**: Assessing the condition of the tiles and grout to identify areas needing restoration such as cracks, stains, or discoloration.

2. **Cleaning**: Thoroughly cleaning the tiles and grout to remove dirt, grime, mold, and other contaminants using specialized cleaning agents and equipment. This may involve scrubbing, steam cleaning, or chemical treatments.

3. **Grout Repair**: Repairing damaged or deteriorated grout by removing old grout and replacing it with new grout. This helps to reinforce the integrity of the tiled surface and prevent further damage.

4. **Stain Removal**: Treating and removing stubborn stains or discoloration from the tiles and grout using appropriate stain removers or techniques tailored to the type of stain and tile material.

5. **Sealing**: Applying a protective sealant to the tiles and grout to prevent moisture absorption, stains, and mold growth. Sealants also help to enhance the appearance of the tiles and prolong their lifespan.

6. **Polishing or Buffing**: Buffing or polishing the tiles to restore their shine and luster, particularly for natural stone tiles like marble or granite.

7. **Color Enhancement**: Enhancing the color of the grout to achieve a uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance, either by staining or using grout colorants.

8. **Waterproofing**: Applying waterproofing agents or sealants to the grout lines and tile surfaces, especially in wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens, to prevent water damage and mold growth.

9. **Final Inspection**: Conducting a final inspection to ensure that the restoration process has been completed to satisfaction and that the tiled surface looks clean, uniform, and well-maintained.

Overall, tile and grout restoration aims to not only improve the appearance of tiled surfaces but also to protect them from future damage, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining their functionality.
