Porcelain tile is a heavy, dense composition making it resistant to stains and damage. Since it has a reputation for durability, many people think that they can’t remove the porcelain flooring in their home. With help from an experienced crew from a professional removal service, porcelain tile can be gone in as little as 24 hours!

What is Porcelain Tile?

Porcelain tile is another type of ceramic tile, which is especially popular in commercial settings due to its durable nature. Because it can handle the pressure of heavy foot traffic, many business owners see it as a solid choice for a commercial space. Porcelain is also a very dense form of tile, which helps it repel damage from water and other liquids.

Porcelain Tile Removal Process

We start the removal process by using our specialized equipment to remove the porcelain tile. With the right machinery, we can remove the majority of the floor surface quickly. Next, we use hand tools to remove any pieces of flooring that remain. Our crews travel with angled and small tools, making it easy to get into corners and hard to reach spaces. With the flooring gone, we can start getting rid of the mortar or thin set underneath.

Removing a floor surface properly means getting rid of the compounds used to make the porcelain floor tiles stick. In many cases, porcelain tile is installed using a heavy layer of mortar or thin set underneath. The installer does this to make the heavy porcelain tiles stay where they are laid.  In order to complete the removal of your floor and leave it ready for installation of a new surface, we make sure this mortar or thin set is all gone.

After the porcelain tile surface of your floor is removed, our teams work to get rid of this layer. We use chisels to break the bonding and remove this layer from the surface of the concrete sub-floor. Any little patches that are still stuck on the concrete get removed by large grinders that leave the floor smooth. Grinding helps to clear away any mortar or thin set and leaves the area ready for installation for new flooring.
