We have a bathroom floor that appears to have some water damage....the floor is lifting (the vinyl). How do we repair this? (is there a method for locating the leak or a certain way to seal around the tub to prevent leaks?)

If it is along the edge of the tub it is often caused by water dribbling out past the curtain or a tub slanted out. The other thing would be to find the access panel behind the tub faucet, open it up and see if there are any plumbing leaks.
Hard to say about the vinyl. Area would have to be dry for adhesive. What about some type of base along the tub to hold the edge down?
