Flooring problems

[rolpaula]

Hi

We laid laminate flooring in our hallway and it began to buckle. Thinking we hadnt laid it properly a few months down the line we have just pulled it up. It wasnt the laminate flooring that had buckled it was the floorboards. They are all damp and in a certain place they have raised. Anybody have any advice for us please? Do we leave the floorboards as they are for a little while to dry out and re-lay laminate again but will we have the same problem again? Any suggestions would be very helpful,

thanks

lift the boards to see why they are wet?

another thought

there hasnt been a leak or spill on the laminate has there
how did the laminate get cleaned!!!!! it should only be done by a barely damp cloth[moist]there should be no trace off moisture after a few seconds
