Removing Tile on Concrete Slab Easy

hey it's the ultimate handyman today i want to show you how to remove tile from a concrete slab so we're going to get right into the video first thing we're going to have to do is we're going to get a hammer and we're going to start hitting each one of the tiles so we can put some fractures in the tiles this is going to help to loosen the bond between the tile and the concrete subfloor next we're going to take a rotor hammer i have a makita rotor hammer and we're going to put a chisel bit in it and we're going to set the hammer to the hammer setting so it doesn't spin like a drill and we're going to use this to chisel up the tiles so removing the tiles from the floor took about four to five minutes it went really quick and the reason it went so fast is because i fractured the tiles in the beginning if you're not going to fracture the tiles it makes it a lot harder to chisel them up even with the rotor hammer so always fracture the tiles with a regular hammer beforehand once all the tiles are broken up you can clean up all of the broken pieces and we're going to be ready for the next step we're going to be left with the mortar that they used to adhere the tiles to the concrete you can see how it's all rough and nasty looking so i'm going to take the same rotor hammer and chisel setup and we're going to use that to remove the mortar from the floor i like to put a little bit of pressure downward into the concrete slab because the concrete is much harder than the mortar so the chisel will just kind of glide along the surface of the concrete and it'll just pop the mortar right up the mortar is a lot softer than the concrete material and it basically just pulverizes it and it'll leave you with a nice smooth surface to work with once all the mortars chipped up you can go ahead and sweep everything out of the room and then vacuum up all the dust with a shop back if you found this video helpful can you do me a huge favor can you please like share and subscribe to my channel i'm trying to get the channel to over 10 000 subscribers and i can really use your help to get there also hit the bell for notifications so you don't miss out when i post my latest how-to videos and with that said i want to thank you for watching and i will see you the next project and oh yeah check out my other videos right here you
