Why Miami Pool Tile Falls Off

Published 2025-02-15

Freeze-thaw isn't the culprit in Miami. Common causes include calcium deposits from hard municipal water, weak original bond coat, and minor shell movement over the region's limestone base.

Chemistry matters — high calcium hardness common in Miami-Dade tap water can lead to scale that dislodges tile.

A proper repair addresses shell integrity and uses appropriate thin-set and waterproofing. A qualified provider should scope the work.
