why is there no visible wet patch on my bathroom floor but the tiles are lifting? Lifting tiles in a bathroom without a visible wet patch points to a slow leak tracking beneath the tile adhesive layer rather than pooling on the surface. ADI Leak Detection uses thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening equipment to trace where water is migrating under a tiled floor without lifting a single tile. Water from a leaking supply pipe or waste connection seeps into the screed or subfloor, saturating the adhesive bond from below. That moisture breaks the bond between tile and substrate, and the tiles begin to lift as the damp spreads outward. An ADI Leak Detection engineer surveys the floor with thermal imaging to map temperature differentials caused by moisture movement, then uses acoustic equipment to pinpoint the source.
