      Does anyone out there have an easy way to remove
      ceramic floor tile without disturbing adjacent tile?

      I guess you want to remove one or more tiles for
      repair purposes? Use a grout saw to clear away all
      the grout around the perimeter of the area you want
      to remove, then break the a tile (using the least
      force required) and chisel out the pieces and other
      tiles (use a carbide tiped tile chisel).

      Swing wildly with a sledge hammer and hope for the best! Good luck!

      I am to remove 250 sf of ceramic tile set on concrete floor without damaging the conctete substrate.

      I understand there is a scrapper (similar to a “jackhammer” type) that I can use that is attached to my compressor. Can you advise or suggest a solution

      I purchased .99 Ceramic tiles ..Home Depot said they were very good quality. Well after I grouted the tiles show all kinds of chips on the outer perimeter. Im thinking of tearing out all the new tile,and starting over. Or Is it possible to just go over the existing tile.Anyhow,If you do suggest the tear out…whats the easiest way to tear out the tile,But If you say I can go over the tile …Please explain the procedure.

      I am replacing my entire floor with 16″ diagonal tile. the house is roughly 2500 sq ft. I have a chipping hammer but it does not seem to be doing the job well, and the dust is horrendous. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. the house has 12″ tile right now through about half of it.

      thanks matt
