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:

That materials looks exactly what I put in a former office. A floating
material - not terribly expensive. The instruction were to only damp
mop the floor, and to avoid prolonged periods of water at the edges.

Anyway, I would not hire the same installer. Photo 2, enlarged to
"X3Large", bottom of photo shows three rows/courses that are not
staggered. Each of the 3 boards end on the same line.

4 cents worth now days
