    Default Water Damage to Granite

    We have had a flood in our bathroom. Some of our granite tiles have become discoloured/darker/wet looking. It looks to me ( no tiler) that water has got underneath the tiles and has soaked in to the porous underside. Does anone know if we can expect them to dry out.

    Thanks
