The wall tiles that were decorated and pasted last autumn are loose in a large area this year. What should I do?
Case 1: Ceramic tiles fall off due to grass-roots reasons.
The so-called grass-roots cause tiles to fall off, that is, the wall where we stick tiles is empty and sand has started to appear. For these problems, there is no treatment before tiling, and tiles are directly pasted on these walls with quality problems. There is a high probability that the tiles will empty and fall off in the later period.
Responsibility analysis: 1. If the base is handled by a bricklayer, it is plastered by a bricklayer and then pasted on the tiles. Then all the responsibilities at this time must be bricklayers. Second, if the bricklayer is not in charge of the grass-roots level, but before sticking the tiles, the bricklayer has not raised any objection to the quality problem. Then it shows that the quality of the grassroots is recognized, so the bricklayer is also responsible at this time. Third, there are many problems in the grass-roots wall. Before tiling, the bricklayer has proposed to deal with it before tiling. And we didn't listen to the advice and forced the bricklayer to post it, so the bricklayer had no responsibility at this time.
Treatment suggestion: For any wall surface, carefully check the wall surface quality before tiling. For serious sand, it must be plastered again, for serious empty drum, it must be removed and plastered again, and the tiles can only be pasted after the grassroots is qualified.
In case 2, the tiles fell off due to incorrect laying method.
The so-called wrong paving method leads to tile falling off, that is, when we paste tiles on the wall, we don't choose the corresponding pasting method according to the requirements of tiles, which eventually leads to a large area of hollowing and tile falling off. There are three specific situations.
1, wall tiles are laid seamlessly. First, if the bricklayer decides to adopt seamless paving to cause the tiles to fall off, then the bricklayer should take full responsibility. Secondly, if we ask the bricklayer to adopt seamless paving, and the bricklayer does not refuse, it means that this practice is also recognized at this time, so the responsibility for tile falling off lies with the bricklayer.
2. Floor tiles on the wall. The floor tiles on the wall, to put it bluntly, are tiles with low water absorption attached to the wall. Specifically, there are the following situations: first, if the bricklayer uses traditional cement mortar to paste the floor tiles on the wall, and there is no other suggestion, then the bricklayer is responsible for the tile falling off at this time. Second, if the bricklayer proposes that cement mortar can't be used for pasting, but we insist on using cement mortar for pasting, then the problems that arise at this time can only be our own responsibility, and have nothing to do with the bricklayer.
3. The choice of tile soaking water is wrong. First, for the tiles with high water absorption, there is no soaking water when using cement mortar, so basically the tiles will fall off at this time. The responsibility for this problem lies with the bricklayer. 2. For tiles with low water absorption, soak them in water before use, and then stick them with tile glue. The bricklayer is also responsible for the problem. Third, the tile itself is not handled properly, and the responsibility lies entirely with the bricklayer. Because many of our owners don't understand.
In case 3, the tile falls off due to adhesive.
The so-called reason for sticking materials is that we chose the wrong material when sticking tiles, or chose unqualified tile sticking materials. Then at this time, different responsibilities will be divided according to different situations.
A, if all the paste materials are the responsibility of the bricklayer, that is, the bricklayer is responsible for all the auxiliary materials. Then it is the bricklayer's responsibility that the tiles fall off due to material reasons.
Second, if all the pasting materials are provided by us, that is to say, the bricklayer only provides labor, and the main and auxiliary materials pasted are provided by the owner. At this time, the paste material itself has quality reasons, and the tiles fall off, so I personally think it has nothing to do with the bricklayer.
The bricklayer refuses to admit that the wall brick has fallen off. How to go through legal procedures?
For the case that the wall tiles at home fall off, we usually ask the builder to repair them. If bricklayers don't repair tiles, then we need to take different measures according to different situations. To sum up, the home miscellaneous altar includes the following two situations.
(1), if the tile falls off because of the bricklayer, then we can bring a lawsuit to the court at this time. But there is a premise, that is, we must sign a clear contract with the bricklayer and have a quality warranty period. Because this is the most basic element in our legal procedure. Without any contract documents, it is impossible to go through legal procedures.
(2) If the tiles at home fall off largely because of our own reasons, we have to bear it ourselves. For example, the materials we bought are unqualified or the quality of our walls is unqualified. The bricklayer made a suggestion, but we didn't adopt it. Then at this time, I personally think that we should not go through legal procedures and should bear it ourselves.
Concluding remarks
It's annoying that the wall tiles fall off after the renovation. Therefore, we should understand some reasons that lead to tile falling off. Another thing to remind everyone is that when we decorate, we try to sign a written contract no matter which process. In fact, on the other hand, I personally suggest that you find a formal decoration company to decorate, so that we can find the corresponding unit after the quality problems appear. Never find a separate bricklayer to tile directly, we may never find anyone in the future.
