Grout Problem Checker

Check the signs you see in your grout and caulk and get a likely cause with the next step.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values and the details you enter. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual tile, grout condition, moisture, access, site conditions and local rules. Only a site visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written scope and price before any work begins.

How it works

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Look closely

    Check the grout, caulk and tile in good light.

  2. 02

    Tick the signs

    Tick every sign you see, such as dark lines, cracks or powder.

  3. 03

    Add the setting

    Shower, kitchen, floor or outdoor, and how long it has been like this.

  4. 04

    Read the result

    Likely causes and three clear next steps.

Tips

  • Photograph the problem area so you can track changes.
  • Hollow-sounding or loose tile needs attention soon, because water can reach the substrate.
  • Mildew that comes back quickly usually points to moisture or old caulk.
Questions

About this tool.

Does this replace an inspection?

No. It is a checklist. Problems often hide behind tile and under grout.

Loose or hollow tile, soft spots, leaks and water stains on a ceiling below need prompt attention.

Can you help with a hidden leak?

We look at tile, grout and caulk. A plumber should check a suspected leak.
