Is it safe to ignore delamination if the floor underneath is solid ie no water ingress. I have looked at other forum posts, but no definitive answer is given.

providing the floor does not bellow downwards its safe,but it WILL get worse as time goes on. delamination is when the ply comes unstuck from the foam in the centre.

------------------------------------------------------- thin plywood

the centre is filled with foam.

Hi Adrian,
You can leave it, but it just gets worse and it spreads so that little repair turns into a major headache. And bear in mind the strenth of your floor is going. So it is best to tackle it, I did mine December 2006, still solid as a rock, this may help you to see what's involved, Click Here,
Cheers,
