        "text": "Signs that your kitchen tile needs replacement include hollow-sounding tiles, recurring grout cracks, loose pieces, and persistent water damage around baseboards. When individual tiles sound hollow when tapped, the mortar bond underneath has failed. If you notice repeated grout crumbling despite repairs, subfloor flexing or moisture intrusion is often the root cause. Extensive staining on unsealed stone, chipped surfaces from dropped cookware, or outdated layouts that no longer match a remodel are also practical indicators that a full tear-out and reset are needed.",
