Hi, my name is jim and i have layed a lot of laminate flooring , if you look at the flooring panels you will notice that they are not made of wood but they look like wood , they are made of M.D.F board ( medium density fiber ) board , which , if layed on top of water will soak up water like a sponge and then expand and get very soft and pliable ,these boards are designed to lock together and do not need any form of glue or adhesive they are designed to stay locked , once they become water logged im afraid they will have to be replaced hope i have helped .
