man, you are likely going to have moisture/mold underneath your cabinets as well. If so, the lowers will almost certainly need to be pulled. You need a professional, unless you want to spend your next couple of months dealing with the repairs on your own and in hopes you can fully remediate the mold. And as others have said, your loss may not be covered. Many insurers are declining coverage under the sudden and accidental clause more and more often lately, especially the carrier I'm guessing you have based on the $5k mold limit.

I pulled more apart and was able to assess the cabinets. It doesn't look like water went under the cabinets. A little bit of mold at the corner of one of the cabinets is all there was. I don't think it's been leaking for a long time. I'm going to pull some more flooring to be sure, cut out that corner, clean and then test for mold using the test Stout mentioned.
