Washing machine leaked under tiles

smallgarden · 2017-07-08 09:05:35

Washing machine leaked causing water to go under nearby tiles as tiles finish just before the washing machine. The tiles are gone a darker colour. Is there any chance of them drying out or is it best to pull up the tiles. The floor underneath is concrete, thanks

you have nothing to loose by waiting and hoping they will dry out.

your tiles are poorly installed. the tiles should go under washing machine so that the water will be obvious straight away. if the tiles have a full bed of adhesive under them than the water shouldn't be able to get under them. I would guess that you can see holes from the trowels notches.
