can a small hidden leak cause a large area of bathroom tiles to eventually lift? Yes, a small hidden leak behind tiles or beneath a bathroom floor can eventually lift a large area of tiling as moisture saturates the adhesive bed and grout. ADI Leak Detection uses thermal imaging and acoustic listening equipment to pinpoint the exact source without unnecessary tile removal. Water escaping from a concealed pipe joint or hairline fracture in a supply line works slowly into the substrate, breaking down tile adhesive and causing tiles to de-bond across a wide area. An ADI Leak Detection engineer surveys the affected bathroom floor or wall surface, identifies the breach location precisely, and reports findings so only the damaged section needs opening up.
