how bad can the damage get if I ignore lifting tiles and a spongy bathroom floor

The audio from our YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-kH-DWEqw8

how bad can the damage get if I ignore lifting tiles and a spongy bathroom floor? Ignoring a spongy bathroom floor and lifting tiles almost always leads to structural timber decay, subfloor collapse, and water damage spreading into the rooms below. ADI Leak Detection uses acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to trace the source of bathroom water leaks without unnecessary disruption to the property. A slow leak beneath bathroom tiles saturates the screed and timber joists over time. Wet timber loses structural integrity, and once rot sets in, repair costs climb well beyond what early leak detection would have cost. ADI's engineers have completed over 50,000 leak investigations across residential properties, locating concealed leaks before secondary damage takes hold. Pressure testing confirms whether supply pipework is the source. The longer a property owner waits, the deeper the damage goes.
