Laminate Flooring Problem
I have laminate flooring with the foam underlayment already on the back, and it clicks into place. Problem is that I believe some moisture got in a seam and now is has started to peak along the seam. What, if anything, can be done to get the warp out of it without pulling boards up and replacing? Thanks for any help.

you could try setting something really heavy on top of the peak for a while (stack of heavy books, trunk, whatever) and see if it flattens down. but i think once moisture swells the substrate of the laminate (which is just pressboard), it's swollen for good. the beauty of the click together laminates is that you CAN disassemble to the point of damage, replace damaged boards & put it back together again. which may be your only choice.
