        "text": "Before a contractor arrives to re-grout or seal tile, clear all personal items, rugs, toiletries, and small appliances from the room. Surfaces should be completely dry, meaning showers should not be used for at least 24 hours prior to service so that trapped water does not compromise fresh grout or prevent sealers from soaking into the joints. If repairs follow plumbing alterations or wall framing adjustments, verifying that the tile substrate is completely rigid prevents premature cracking along the new grout lines.",
