The inhabitants can be at risk if tiles are displaced or shatter without warning. Taking a step on a pop up tile can seriously injure your toe. Understanding the different causes and methods of tile cracking will help you prevent it at home.
Define Tile Pooping
It is common for ceramic tiles to cause pop up problems when used as flooring. In the process of lifting floor tiles, the tiles push other tiles together, creating a tent like bulge in the floor. Popping tiles are referred to as such whenever they break and dislodge.
It is also possible for a tile to shatter when popping during a repair, requiring the procurement and installation of new tiles. You can reuse the tile again, depending on whether it broke or not.
Tile Popping Causes
Unskilled Labor
You need a skilled mason if you want the tile to stay in place. It is easy for many irregularities to take hold in the hands of an unskilled worker. Due to inadequate mixing of cement screed, there are air pockets beneath the tiles and insufficient gap between the tiles.

Tile Oversize
Working with oversized or large tiles requires a specific troweling technique to ensure a secure bond. The installation of small tiles is easier, so fewer errors are likely to occur.
No Cleaning
If foreign materials are present on the subfloor, the bond between the tile and the subfloor is compromised. It is necessary to thoroughly clean the tile and subfloor to remove foreign materials such as clay, grease, dirt, and oil.
Poor Bonding Agent
Bringing a skilled mason for tile installation and installing smaller tiles may be one of the possible causes. It is important to use a screed that is strong and durable enough to withstand the weight of the tiles when binding tiles.
To create a strong and secure bond, it should also bond well with the tiles. Poor quality screed may crack or crumble under the weight of the tiles, leading to unsafe and unsightly flooring.
Rough Subfloor
Tiles can also pop due to a rough and unlevel subfloor. Such conditions may easily result in the development of air pockets beneath the tile. There is also the possibility that the tile does not fit properly over the subfloor, resulting in a weak bond between the tile and the subfloor.
