How To Fix Ceramic Tile Popping or Explode

Problem: Tile floor coverings lifted up and broken into pieces, and the loud noise like an explosion or eruption. Usually this happens in one row of tiles in a row.
What caused the ceramic tiles to popping out or explode is the air is trapped beneath the floor because of the drying process is not perfect. Another cause is the reduction in floor position, the process of expansion shrinkage in ceramic, or ceramic adhesive is not strong enough to stand the pressure.

How To Fix
Materials needed: if you still have stocks of good old ceramic tiles with the same type, or just use new ceramics, mortar or instant cement material, cement spoon,rubber hammer and Roskam toothed.
Solution: Take up all the loose tiles. Clean the surface of the floor of the tile fragments. Cover the surface evenly with instant cement and blend it with roskom toothed.
Install a ceramic that has been dampened in order to become homogeneous. Give a bit of pressure by way of tapping the surface of the floor using a hammer or rubber hammer. After the tile is dry, about 3 weeks later, close the grout using grout filler.

That's it, problem solved. If you have any questions about how to fix cermic tiles that popping or explode, feel free to comment, below.
