The wood will grow mold from the slab side out. You won't see it right away

I pulled my my engineered wood floors, left the ceramic in the bathroom and the brick pavers in the kitchen.

Yeah as far as we know they haven't had and mold issues. But the ac never stopped running as it normally does in summer since it was just extremely isolated flooding (flower beds backed up).

If it were me I'd leave em if they look ok. But I'm cheap and will take stupid chances to save money.

I've been tearing up Bamboo floors glued to the concrete with a hammer and prybar for days now.

There is a ton of moisture underneath.

When you die of black mold, maybe your epitaph will read "hey, at least he kept his wood floors".

Take it out. Let it dry for a few weeks.

Put it back. "Distressed wood floors".

People pay top dollar for that old wooden deck look.
