Question:

How do i remove cement board from the top of ceramic tile?

I have a ceramic tile floor that has cement board adhered to the top of it, with carpet glued to the cement board. I have removed the carpet, and now i want to remove the cement board to reveal the tile underneath. Any suggestions on how to removed the cement board?

Answer:

take a sledge hammer to it.
NOT GONNA HAPPEN,THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE THE CEMENT IS BY FORCE AND WHEN FORCE IS ADDED THEN THE TILE GETS BROKE,UNFORTUNITLY WHO EVER PUT THE CEMENT ON THE TILE DIDN'T HAVE ALOT OF FORTHOUGHT AS TO WHAT IF YOU WANTED THE TILE BACK AT SOME POINTIN THE FUTURE
Cement board may be glued or screwed down with tapco screws, if screwed you may be able to unscrew it if glued you could chip it off, but that ceramic floor won't be in good shape, so installation of new floor will be necessary and that's your choice.
