Ahh fuck. That's never fun. We're lucky enough to be able to access the undersides of our bathroom floor, so monitoring the damage is relatively easy. After (hopefully) fixing the leaks I drew a boarder around the damage and dated the lines.

Every few months I go under the house and check the damage hasn't spread, and take some readings with a cheap wood moisture meter.

Ask any handyperson and they'll tell you the top causes of damage to houses: Water and handypeople.
