My new home is 4 months old and the caulk and grout are already crack
My home is only 4 months old the caulk and grout are cracking around the edges of the tile in the kitchen and bath. Is it normal for new grout to crack?
have to chip out all the old, cracked parts, clean the seam, and regrout.
You can, Jan, but make sure it's clean and any loose grout is removed. The hard part will be matching the grout color.
It could all keep chipping out. Do little tests on other places to see if it is loose. You might get away with just that one section. Maybe it is worth just doing it all again.
Jan, there's a little $10 tool in the tile department of any home improvement store that removes grout. It is very easy to use
