    First time poster. Hello all :)

    We had a leak from our dishwasher, which has since been replaced. The problem is, I suspect that the leak went undetected for quite a while and has affected the surrounding flooring.

    Some of the floor tiles near to the dishwasher 'flex' slightly and give off a 'popping' sound when stood on. You can see one or two of them visible move when stood on. I would say there are about five affected tiles in all.

    Has the leak affected the subflooring? Could I get away with attempting to take the affected tiles up (without breaking them) and reapply them?

    What do you think are the best and worst case scenarios here?

    Thanks.

    if you can get the tiles up without breaking them, they were never fixed properly in the first place and that's why they're loose,
    so thats the test, if they come up easy, take the lot up and refix with the right adhesive, ;)
