What a useful checklist would help with
It could help you work out:
- Repair recommendation (grout fix, DIY repair, or contractor rework)
- Risk assessment (cosmetic, functional, or structural)
- Inspection techniques (e.g., torch test, straightedge check)
- Next steps with evidence for contractor disputes
Based on defect type (e.g., waviness, cracking, grout gaps), location (wet area or dry area), severity level (minor, moderate, severe), photo of defect (optional).
