Thank you! My house is 2 years old and I found some sections of grout that are just plain missing and some that were cracking. Your video gave me the confidence to do it myself!

[@AmplifyDIY]

Nice!

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

This happens when your house is subject to a lot movement (vibrations) called settlement. Probably your tiles have been laid directly on wood which is not a good substrate to tile onto. Happened the same in place which wasn't built as well more than 2 years ago.

[@ukelilly]

Can I use that little grout removal tool to remove grout on my kitchen floor ? Probably tough since it's a larger area plus the grout lines are thicker. thx

[@cloudyprison7741]

Thank you so much! I've got a few cracked out pieces of my grout that need to be filled and this will help immensely!

[@LoveJonesy101]

Thanks for the simple instruction

[@mitchelllightman1850]

Well done. Very carefully instructed with product name and background reasons.

[@theegoat1936]

For anyone wondering, there's a triangle grout remover tool that is much easier and has 3 different sizes on each side, when I used the saw the blade quickly dulled. The triangle tool costs 2 dollars more than the saw. I bought both, tried the triangle tool and much more efficient, cleaner edges

[@AmplifyDIY]

Thanks for sharing!

[@theegoat1936]

@AmplifyDIY video was awesome and informative tho, was able to gain the confidence to do my grout on my own.

[@keithmcphail1152]

I'm with arte C+: really good, clear video. After all of those careful, patient instructions, I would add that you want to use unsanded grout on the tiles due to the small distance between the tiles. Really good video. My thanks.

[@Thincrust128]

After reading comments from so many other videos to not do what they do I found yours, and it helped a first timer so much. I’m not a handyman, so this was very useful and I thank you.

[@andrewford80]

Nice video.
It has taken me a few attempts at this and its slowly looking better each time. Learning the amount of moisture required in the sponge and the amount of time to wait before sponging seems to be the key for me.

[@AmplifyDIY]

It's a delicate balance for sure. Thanks for watching!

So glad I found your video. Easily explained. I’ve done a lot of home improvement jobs on my own but never grout. I have same problem as you did but in more spots. I found a bag of grout the previous owners left. They put the same exact tile on the floor so I’m assuming they used same grout for both bathtub tile and floor tile. Now all I need is to find out the right consistency to make it Making sure it’s not going to flake like you said if it’s too watery. Thanks. This helped a lot.

[@AmplifyDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@UpnorthHere]

Nicely done tutorial. I'm just about ready to regrout our shower wall tiles above the tub. When removing the cracked grout (over a week ago), I discovered (to my dismay) that there WAS NO MORTAR behind some of the tiles -- the 20-year-old gypsum wall had disintegrated from being wet. Instead of fixing a few grout lines, I ended up removing about 30 tiles and rebuilding 5 square feet of wall (with Durock), cleaning off and re-installing the old tiles with thinset, and FINALLY got to this point of regrouting. Took days, not including the 30-mile round trip to the nearest "big box store" for tools, materials and supplies. Your cheerful demeanor here gives me strength as I round the final lap in this project. THANKS!

[@AmplifyDIY]

Oof.. I feel your pain. I'm having flashbacks to when I bought my very first house around 20ish years ago... everything passed inspection, but the day we took possession I pulled up the carpeting in the family room as we planned to re-do the floors before moving in. The floor in one corner was damp and rotted almost completely through. Turns out the tiled shower in the master bathroom backed up to that room, and had been leaking for many years. Had to do a complete bathroom gut/remodel on top of all the other plans we already had for that house.
Anyhow, I'm glad to hear you are closing in on finishing your project! Sounds like you caught it before it got REALLY bad!
