Some of the more common tile claims involve cracking tiles, cracked grout, grout discoloration, lippage, shading, surface imperfections, indent fracturing, improper subfloor preparation, bond loss, voids or holes, tenting, workmanship, other installation issues, manufacturing defects and many more.
