Default How to dry flooded laminate floor?

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:

Removing the laminate shouldn't be too hard. Mark the pieces on the back so
you'll know where to replace them.

Depending on the laminate, the water may not bother it at all.
