water on laminate flooring

[Sherry Miller]

I was cleaning my 3 month old laminate flooring and a little too much water got into 3 of the planks. I now have 3 planks with a rise in them, each about 2 inches long at the seams. Can these be pressed down. They seem to have gone down slight this morning. It happened just yesterday.

So I need help fast.

wood swells when wet, hopefully as it dries out it will settle down

perhaps a fan or dehumidifer aimed at the area will help dry it out

it may take a few weeks if not longer to completly dry if the water has gotten under the floor as its trapped in there and there is a foam under the floor that acts like a sponge
