 What should I do for water damaged laminate flooring?
 
I own a rental condo that was flooded, directly caused by the unit above me one month ago. I have laminate flooring in my condo and you could hear the water underneath the floor as you walked- My insurance company hired a restoration company to come in and let the fans run for a couple of days but never removed the flooring. I realize that the floor has to be removed ASAP. What are the proper steps to prevent mold as a result of water trapped underneath the laminate?

Hopefully, your insurance-backed restoration company will do everything that is necessary to ensure that the mold will not spread. They would definitely be the right people to question, as all of these things are generally looked after by the time us flooring people start to help. If there is any additional damage to the subfloor or any mold present, document and report all findings to the restoration/insurance company before the new flooring goes in.
