I mean, you are a man right? You just inspected the damage. Stop the leak and throw some fans on it for a few days. The engineered wood floors probably wont cup but the finish may lift. Do you have any spare pieces or is it still in production (although different batches will have some variability in finish).
You dont need servpro, thats for a whole house flood/leak.

Stop the leak. If the wood is saturated, go rent a big dehumidifier and let it dry out. Then replace the damaged flooring. warped flooring pulled up to dry out subfloor.
Had the same thing happen except I have hardwood floors. Insurance claim and they got servpro out to do exactly what I said above.
Ran dehumidifier for about a week to dry both floor and cabinets. Changes out about 4 damaged boards. I could have done all of it myself had I known.

Nothing is actively leaking at the moment. I'm 99% sure it's the dishwasher just not sure what caused it yet. I did see the front door seal was misaligned but the leak appeared to be primarily under the washer not in front. Repair or replace, I don't intend to use the dishwasher anymore.
I have a couple boxes of boards from when I built the house and the boards are still in production so I'm good there. I have a dehumidifier running but some more of the floor will need to come up.
The main concern is the wife...she's been having some health issues for years so I need to have some professionals come in do the whole damp testing/mold testing to assuage her fears. I'm not going to be able to get by with replacing a few boards. She's already talking about replacing cabinets...
