Our office with laminate flooring was slightly flooded by an out of order
sprinkler outside the building.

We have mopped off the water on the floor. However, there is still water
underneath the floor. Stepping on certain areas would squeeze out some
water.

Do we have to tear out the whole floor to remove those water, or would the
water drain down through the foundation? Is there any company specializing
in this type of work?

The building is a 1-story commercial building.

Here are some photos showing the water on the floor:http://photographs.smugmug.com/galle...46490040_VYoRq

How long had the water been sitting?

The water is trapped between the slab & the laminate ....get someone
(you?) after it with a shop vac.

After you get readily vac'd water, prop the vac floor style nozzle in
the "lowest" spot, leave it running and it will draw the water to it.

Set up a couple 20" box fans & also turn up the heat.

Of course there are water damage / flooding cleanup companies but they
charge an arm & a leg...since their typical MO is to screw some
insurance company.

As Ransley mentioned....insurance deductible?
