Is there anything that nealtw isn't an expert on? Or doesn't have a comment for???

You can do the test as Neal stated, duct tape a piece of visqueen to the floor and see if any condensation appears. Or for about $20 you can get a calcium chloride test from a local flooring supplier . It is a fairly simple process, just follow the directions included with the test. Tile is very...

The original question was if ceramic or porcelain needed to be sealed; which I answered no.

Usually it is next to impossible! I've seen people find a grout color similar to their terrazzo and use that to patch the holes

Use the thinset, not the cement mix. I am assuming the thinset is latex modified and this will help with the adhesion.

Check out stone tech , I highly reccomend the bullet proof sealer, but they also make a salt resistant sealer that might suit your situation. It was actually developed for use for stone around salt water pools

Stone tech makes a poultice for removing grease stains from granite, I am pretty sure it will work on terrazzo

This tool will give you very inaccurate results, if you are seriously wanting to know get a calcium chloride test from a local flooring distributor and perform the test S stated in the instructions. This will give you an accurate MVER rating

I vote for LVT , luxury vinyl tila This stuff is bulletproof, has the wood look and can easily be replaced!

I agree on the saw but use a jamb or undercut saw , these saws would be ideal for your issue

Agreed sanding would be best, however I disagree with the bleach recommendation! Bleach will raise the grain on wood so you'd end up sanding anyway

No sealer only works on porus surface, which ceramic is not!

I would vote for the stain refinish route! Laminate usually doesn't hold up too good for renters!!

The best way would be a floor scraper!

A shot blasted runs on electric, it's almost like a sandblasted but uses metal beads ( similar to ball bearings) most tool rental places will have them available for rent. Google shot blaster and you'll see what type of machine I am talking about

Sure it will raise your drain height, which will allow you to float out what you already have, so you can correct your pitch to the drain. You can skim out the floor with a latex modified thinset, which is more than likely what you used to set the tile you have down now.

You need to use a neutral cleaner, stonetech makes a product called klenzall, this will clean your stone, you will then want to seal the stone at least once a year for maximum protection

To do this correctly, you really need to remove the paint. Whatever you put on top is only going to stick as good as what's down there. You can rent a shot blaster an remove the paint pretty easily!

Sorry sand auto fill, you should have prep'd the floor prion to install
