Flooring is by no means beneath me, but I haven’t really done anything below a shoe molding. So question for the tile high club: What would you do in the pictured situation? These are floor sections that have always felt a bit “squishy”. Today they finally popped up into the tent formation you see here.
Wait for it to settle and then add glue to keep it down? Cut it to fit?
Additional context:
I did not do this install myself, so the history is a bit of a mystery. This is installed in a full bathroom and is made of what feels like a smoothed slate material. I believe it is a composite tile.
More photos for context:
so this looks like click and lick vinyl plank?
I had to do quite a bit of repair and can give you tips if that's the case
I don’t think it is. Seems like a large format synthetic slate material.
so.. is it grouted? what's the under layment?
Yeah it’s a dark grout.
Okay first off those are large ceramic tiles not the laminate etc it looked like.
Second off, why the fuck??? I am guessing somebody wanted to level the floor. Instead of doing it properly they just tossed globs of mortar on the floor and shoved the tiles on top.
100 year old building here. The floors were definitely not level prior to this project. This bathroom was originally two rooms combined into one and I’m sure the prior owner cut corners on the renovation.
I would get a professional in to take a look at it personally. That looks like a complete tearout and redo to me. I assume there are voids under all of those tiles. They will all be popping up or breaking if left.
I’ve kind of suspected as much for a while. I can feel certain other areas with a similar wobble.
