[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP: And yet the master bath shower in our new build is 5-6yo. The hairline grout cracks have developed a life of their own. Yes there is a membrane underneath (I saw it all go in) BUT so much water builds up under the tile it “smooshes” out when you step on it like a creaky floorboard. [/quote] This isn't a grout problem, it's a problem with the underlayment and/or the mortar that was used to hold down the tiles. For the nth time: grout is not waterproofing. It's not waterproof. Tile is not waterproof. Caulk is not waterproof. Mortar is not waterproof. The expectation is that water will seep through all of those materials. There needs to be a waterproofing layer between the underlayment and the finish materials. [/quote]
