Subfloors and slabs in Gallatin: what they mean for tile
In a historic house the tile is chosen to suit the period — hex, subway, mosaic — and set with the substrate the old floor needs; the look is period, the waterproofing is modern.
The substrate — plywood over joists, a slab, a bonus-room floor on a long span — decides the preparation, and the setter looks under the floor before quoting.
Newer houses have plywood or OSB subfloors and fiberglass shower units, and the tile shower conversion is the common job; the substrate is usually sound and the waterproofing is the work.
Lake houses have outdoor showers, pool surrounds and stone steps, and exterior tile and stone here is set for freeze-thaw with the right materials.
The ground moves the floor — a slab that cracks with the clay, a crawl that flexes the subfloor — and tile over either is set on a membrane that absorbs the movement.

The tile problems we see in Gallatin
A lot of the recent Nashville build boom used large-format tile over floors that were never flattened for it, which is the single most common cause of the hollow-sounding tiles we get called about.
- Tiles that sound hollow when tapped
- A shower leaking into the ceiling below
- Edges you catch with a bare foot
- Stone that has stained and was never sealed
Grouting too early. Grouting before the setting material has cured traps moisture underneath and discolors the grout permanently.
