About Bath Tile Disposal

Okay, before we even get to bathroom tile removal, you’ve got to think about disposal. Why? Because it’s going to be an eventual reality. Not to mention all the other debris that will present a real problem.

Ceramic tiles are used for bathroom showers and floors because they prevent water damage to floor and wall underlayment. Ceramic tiles are hard and durable, lasting for years. Many homeowners or home buyers decide to remove existing tiles and redecorate with new tile styles, sizes or patterns. Removing ceramic tiles from the shower walls can be difficult without damaging the surface of the wall because of the strong adhesive used with the original tile installation. --San Francisco Gate

The best thing to do is call a junk hauling service and schedule a day and time to pick it all up and take it away.

Laguna Woods Bath Tile Removal Tips and Tricks You can Use

When it comes to bath tile removal, it’s all about working smartly. So, don’t go the DIY route if you’re unsure about your abilities. However, should you still want to take it on yourself, here are some helpful bath tile removal tips and tricks you can use:

• Clear out the space. After you shut off the water, remove everything from the space. Clear out the cabinets and closets. In addition, take down any wall decor so it’s also out of the way. Leave nothing inside because it might get damaged or could pose a safety hazard.
• Use a 3-pound hand sledge and chisel. Start in a corner and begin chipping away. Do this with caution until you are confident what’s behind the tile. If you don’t, you risk creating more work by damaging the material underneath.
• Pry the tile away from the wall. Next, you can pry the tile off the wall. This will take a lot of time and effort to get it done, so be sure that you’re up to the task.
• Cut through the plywood with a reciprocating saw. You might need to remove the construction material previously concealed by the tile. For example, if it’s plywood and it’s damaged, you’ll have to cut out the plywood and replace it.
