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.
