Most Saltillo tiles are like a sponge and will take a long time to dry totally and may water stain. I would recommend replacing the tiles

You would probably have a efflorescence problem not to mention water stains. Saltillo soak up water like a sponge and it can cause tons of problems. A jackhammer is the best solution

Hi Partners

 

One of our Partners in Houston has asked me to post this question because due to the floods they have been experiencing, they are having Internet issues.

 

His question is this: If a Saltillo floor has gone through a flood, can it be restored or is it best for the client just to have the Saltillo replaced? Everyone's input would be very much appreciated.
