    Bro, that floor needs to be removed, it has and foan underlayment not allowing it to dry properly. How do you check the moisture under the floor? How do you repair the wholes you just put in that flooring? This type of work is what you get when the insurance company sends you "their people" they come do cheap work get paid and the claim gets closed. And guess what you will have mold growing under your floor.
