Why Floor Tiles Lift Up & How To Stop Never Again in Selangor Now

You wake up, step into the kitchen, and hear that pang-pang hollow sound… then notice a tile tenting like a mini “GUNUNG” on your floor. In Selangor’s tropical heat and heavy rain, tile pop-up (tile lifting/debonding) is more than an eyesore—it’s a safety risk, a trip hazard, and a sign the bond under your tiles has failed.

From condo units in TTDI to factories in Shah Alam and hotels in Bukit Bintang, we’re seeing the same pattern: sudden bulges, cracked grout, and tiles that lift overnight. Here’s the good news: with the right diagnosis and repair method, you can stop it—and stop it for good.



At Hin Group, our tile-pop repair playbook addresses the exact root causes we see daily in Selangor & KL: thermal movement across sun-heated balconies vs air-conditioned interiors, incomplete substrate curing, wrong adhesive class, missing movement joints, and moisture ingress from bathrooms above.

Our service page on tile pop-up repair shows the tell-tale symptoms and pro steps we perform on site, from moisture mapping to substrate rectification and re-bonding with deformable adhesives—so your floor sits flat and stays flat. (Pop Up Solution)

Why tiles lift up in Malaysia

• Thermal stress & humidity: Rapid expansion/contraction between tile and screed weakens the bond, especially on sun-exposed areas next to cooled rooms.
• Installation shortcuts: Wrong adhesive, poor trowel technique, no back-buttering, or laying over uncured screed leads to debonding months later. (Industry notes flag improper installation as a key failure path.) (The Progress Of Handle Pop Up Tiles)
• No movement joints: Large tiled fields without perimeter/field joints trap stress; the force releases by “tenting.” (The Truth Of Local Chinese Technician)
• Moisture pathways: Leaks from bathrooms/balconies or capillary damp push against the bond until tiles release. (The Mystery Of POp Up Tiles)
