Mysterious breaking down of limestone tiles

HI I HAVE LIME STONE TILE,ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD.THE LIMESTONE IS BREAKING DOWN IN SOME SPOTS .HOW CAN I STOP THIS? AND IS THEIR A PRODUCT ON THE MARKET TO FILL IN BROKEN SPOTS THANK YOU JOE
 

Dear Joe:

You may try some Voodoo or somethin'… J

Joking aside, I don't think that there's much that can be done. You may try consulting with a local expert to find out on location what could be causing all this breaking down and, possibly rectify what's wrong; but that's about it.

As for the repair of the broken tiles, it all depends on how bad they are. Only a physical inspection of your installation could tell if there's any hope or if they are too far gone.

Sorry, I couldn't be of any better help.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm? J

Ciao and good luck,

Mauri z io Bertoli
