My bathroom grout has a crack in it alongside the wall edge, where the grout meets the wall. My house sits over a crawlspace that sees alot of moisture get in there during the wet times, and a sump pump removes this.
I have a crack in the grout that I am seeking advice in how to seal. There is moisture from underneath the floor seeping up through this crack, and since it is so close to the wall, the moisture is affecting the baseboard and the paint at that section of the wall.
Does anyone know of a specific product I can use to seal this crack in the grout? It runs the length of one bathroom floor tile, and is only a millimeter or two in width. I need something that will keep moisture from getting in. I first thought it was my wax ring on the toilet, replaced it, and realized it was not a leaky toilet.
While you may not think you have a problem bigger than a crack in the grout, you do. Sealing the crack will resolve you problem, maybe, but really all you will be doing to hiding it.
I have never seen a house built on a big metal plate, I would love to see photos from underneath. Are your walls not wood studs?
However, having moisture seep up from under the house IS A PROBLEM! You really need to find out why the moisture is seeping up through the floor, stop it, and THEN concentrate on sealing the small crack in the grout.

The house is a LeTourneau home, the exterior and the interior are steel plates. When I bought it I had to remodel the entire home. I used furring strips on the exterior, attached using a ram set, and then vinyl sided it. On the inside, in order to hang drywall, I had to drill a pilot hole thru the drywall and into the plating, and then use a drywall screw. I did that to two rooms, including ceilings, as the rest of the home was done.
No worries about termites, and except for the roof, fireproof ....
