Why? All grout is relatively waterproof, especially on vertical
surfaces. What are the symptoms?
A bitch of a job, even with a grout rake.

Water is leaking through the tiles, the grout, to the ceiling below.
The tiles are top quality and look well and it is a shame to get rid
of. The only other quick option is to tile over the tiles, which is an
expensive thing to do.

Hi,

IME a wallpaper steamer with nozzle will soften grout, also might be
worth grinding down a cheap screwdriver for scraping the grout out.

AIUI the tile cement should form a waterproof barrier, if this is a
tiled floor then renewing the grout may not be enough.

cheers,
