Hi there ,
Just after some advice on a long slow leak under a tile floor .
Faulty hose for washing machine the culprit . Leaked underneath that utility cub where there was no tiles , from there , proceeded underneath the tiles( concrete floor and screed ) . Noticed it when slight discolouration on the edge of the next rooms wood . Promptly found and stopped . However probably loads of moisture in the screed underneath . Noticed sim grout coming out in a few places and a couple of wobly . Will the screed/ underneath the tiles eventually dry out ?? Ideal world , let it dry , replace the wobbly tiles regrout etc . Or think the whole thing needs to come up and replace ? If the latter , would insurance cover it . £500 excess on escape of water …. I presume it’s screed underneath the tiles ? Or could it be board ? We weren’t present when done . 2017 extension and install on a concrete new floor . Any help /advice is much appreciated .
