Good grief! *Tear up a floor to prevent mold? *How 'bout we wait to see

No, you'd be tearing up the floor to dry it out and replace the warped
boards. While you're in there you investigate the extent of the
flood, the moisture content of the concrete and remaining boards, and
possibly clean the area with TSP or some other mold killer. Anything
else is crossing your fingers and clicking your heels three times.
