A Shower in Flemington Looks As Good As New Thanks to Our Caulking Services

June 30, 2022

Mold can grow for a variety of reasons, but humidity is the most common source when it comes to the deterioration of showers and other bathroom surfaces. Wherever there is humidity, there is a good chance that mold and mildew become a problem, especially when so many cleaners fail to deliver the effectiveness you need to counter moisture buildup. For the first time in years, a Flemington homeowner felt like she was losing control of her cleaning routine. Her beautiful master shower looked worn and soiled, with obvious signs of damage on the floor grout.


Far from giving up, the homeowner decided that she needed professional assistance to get the desired result. Her sisted had recommended Sir Grout Western New Jersey in the past, so the homeowner went online to learn more about our caulking services in Flemington, NJ. It didn't take long for her to understand why her sister had been so adamant about trusting our specialists with her residential surfaces. Our picture gallery left her in awe, and she could tell that we had ample experience addressing the effects of moisture buildup on shower surfaces. So, the owner headed to the website's contact form, and from there, she didn't have to wait long for a solution to her problem.

Our team arrived at the client's home the very next day to evaluate the shower, at the client's request. During the inspection, we found traces of mineral residue on the walls, while most of the floor grout was covered in mold. The old caulk on the seams had started to fall apart, as well, showing that regular cleaners wouldn't be enough to counter the effects of hard water.

With all this in mind, we offered to make the necessary repairs after deep cleaning every surface with a permeating formula. The homeowner listened attentively as we gave her a step-by-step rundown of the process, and immediately accepted our offer to revamp the master shower.

We arrived at the house for the second time a few days later, ready to start working on the restoration. Our experts began spreading a pH-neutral cleaner on every surface to remove the grime, mold, and soap scum from the ceramic tiles. During this part of the process, we also used a 275-degree vapor steamer to ensure that no dirt remained on the grout and other narrow surfaces.

Next, we installed epoxy grout on the horizontal seams after carefully removing the loose caulk. This way, water and other elements can't seep behind the tiles, and homeowners don't have to constantly worry about structural problems later down the line.

To complete the process, our technicians used Sir Grout's ColorSeal, a non-toxic acrylic sealant that protects the grout's porous surface from water, mold, and mildew while also reducing the number of stains. This is the perfect asset to optimize your cleaning routine and preserve the grout's uniform color after months of activity.

We invited the homeowner to see the results right after completing the restoration. She was ecstatic with the way her shower looked, marveling at the tile pattern on the floor and remarking on how the grout's color elevated the shower layout. She also promised to follow in her sister's footsteps and to tell her friends at work about Sir Grout Western New Jersey.

Before we left the house, our specialists shared a series of tips to keep bathroom surfaces in top condition. First, we advised against using bleach and other soap-based cleaners. To get the greatest cleaning results, we always recommend utilizing pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. In short, soap-based products and acidic solutions contain harsh agents that can deteriorate the grout and stain the tiles after regular use. By contrast, our product doesn't leave toxic residue behind, and it's much safer for people and pets. The lack of chemical ingredients doesn't hinder its effectiveness, so homeowners can expect the best results in all parts of the house.

Another useful pointer, after taking a shower, we recommend wiping every surface with a towel, a squeegee, or another non-abrasive tool. This reduces the amount of dirt you have to clean during your household chores. Lastly, we gave out a general reminder to open the windows and doors so fresh air could circulate more freely inside the house. The client thanked us for the assistance, once again, and promised to contact us whenever she needed to revamp her tile and grout surfaces.
