Q: Does the floor have to be completely level for tile?

• <div><p>Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you&rsquo;ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.</p></div>

Q: Should you tile the shower floor or walls first?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you&rsquo;ll want the wall tiles to &ldquo;sit&rdquo; neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.</p></div>

Q: Does ceramic tile need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Glazed ceramic tiles don&rsquo;t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.</p></div>

Q: Can you use grout and caulk together?

• <div><p>Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable&mdash;you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn&rsquo;t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.</p></div>

Q: Do you need spacers for ceramic tile?

• <div><p>If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.</p></div>

"
the leak was a drip at an elbow on the softener cold water feed. it had dripped a long time as it didn't show until the sheetrock was
saturated and mold started. I opened the ceiling and the wall and located how for it had run giving me a good look at the zigzag

placement of the water line when the softener was installed. The provider readily agreed to clean that up with the cost of a foot or two of pipe. I am completely happy
