Pro Tip- wet the floor before chiseling the thin set. It really helps keep the dust down. Nice vid bro.

The hammer function on the drill is life changing 🙌

Going to remove all the hallway tile so when I have hardwood installed it’s the same level as the bedrooms. Always hated the color of the tile anyway so this is a great excuse to remove it. I love demo - SO SATISFYING. I’m a 79 year old lady still love doing what I can myself. I’ll have someone else lay the floors but thx for this video. Now I just need the chisel for my hammer drill.

Just bought a house in Puerto Rico where most old houses are cement. This is so helpful and money saving. So ready for my projects. Thanks for this video. You rock !!!!

My 16 year old son is gonna be busy in the next couple of days. I’m not paying 600 for demo and a 1300 dollar install for a 220 sqft job. These comments are amazing. Thanks for the content.

Great video thank used a rental makita probably 3 times the size you did. Used a little bit different tile would not come loose ...it would splitter and consequently leave no crack to insert the did not fracture the tile ( live in a condo second floor). Any suggestion for another way Thank you so much

Great "how to video". Gonna impress the contractors with my knowledge for my bathroom remodel. If they don't know about this technique, I'm not gonna hire them!

Thanks man. I wuz trying to do it w/a 4" chisel and it was taking a while....

Thanks for doing this video. This is something that I want to attempt, I'm a complete novice, but looks like a small enough project I can get through slowly and carefully for a first timer. What did you call the drill you used, is it a hammer drill with a chisel bit? What I want to accomplish is to remove all the old tile in my laundry room. The original tile was not laid down properly by the previous homeowner and the tile has come loose on most of the floor. I want to remove all the tile, end result would be to paint the concrete floor rather than replace the tiles. What do you use to smooth out the concrete and prep for applying the paint? Thanks so much again!!

Thinking about doing this in our downstairs bathroom. Thanks for the info - it doesn't look too difficult with the right tools.

Good video. I was poking around looking for some magic way to remove just one tile, at two different places. When they set them when they did the entire floor there was a couple places where they were very slack about getting the corners to meet at the same level. I reckon just use your method while being very careful not to damage the surrounding tile. I know! If it gets real scary I'll close my eyes.

Great video. We are taking tile off of out 1/2 bath and our screened in porch. So your video is a great help.

Quick question. The screened in porch in our house was built on top of existing tile. These tiles extend out about 5 inches on the outside perimeter of the porch.

When we remove the old tile do you think that it is practical to cut the tile around the porch and leave the existing tile sitting under the walls of the porch? Or do you think that we will end up having to pull the tile from underneath? Not sure if my explanation is clear. We are a bit nervous since we've never tackled this before. But the old tile is so bad and raised in places and needs replacing.
Thanks for your consideration.

My thinset didn't come out that easy with the hammer drill and chisel bit. Had to grind it down.

[bigrich]

Exactly what I needed. Trying to get very old tile out of a kitchen and it’s like trying to break granite. I have a hammer drill and I’m about to break up the tiles put the hammer drill to good use.

[rajurage]

Is that a standard hammer drill with a chisel bit? Do i need a special chisel bit or can i just put in a regular chisel privided it fits in well?

[maryannwilliams]

Thank you so much! The answer to my dilemma

[quickmore]

How about if the tile adhesive is that glue plus with the rubber in it? Or waterproofing membrane

[allenbanks]

If you don’t mind saying what did you charge for this job?

I know that this video is a couple of years old. May I ask what kind of roto hammer did you use (i.e. sds plus/max, 3 joules etc) and the width of that chisel. Thanks.
