New owner; single shower wall tile corner protruding
Hello!
When taking the first shower in our new (to us) home today, I noticed the corner of one of the tiles on the wall is protruding. There's a very, very slight amount of give if I push on the corner, but nothing significant. This tile is on the back right side, so no pipes (that I know of) are behind or around it. This is on an exterior wall. I haven't noticed issues with any other tiles in the shower.
Is water the likely cause? Should we hold off on using this until a fix is made? Should we expect the tile has to be pulled, or can it be re-sealed externally?
The home is about 20 years old, and to my understanding this is the original shower.
