She thinks it is just water that came through the door opening. There was a ton of rain last night and water has puddled there before but never gotten in the house. The first company said that she needs to get a plumber out there to do a slab assessment because they think it might be a busted pipe. She is calling another company to get a second assessment.

It’s not a huge deal to pop up the quarter round, and pull up the flooring until you don’t see anymore water. I flip houses for a living and actually had something similar happen at my personal house. Had one of my guys come over, pull everything up and we put some blowers on it. Will need new underlayment and possibly padding depending on what kind.
The most costly part of materials will be the flooring if that has to be replaced. If it is salvageable make sure whoever is pulling it up is careful not to break the grooves and isn’t dumb and gets all the pieces mixed up which will take more labor time when putting it all back together.
With all that said, depending on what could be kept and how much the deductible is and if it’s a covered loss, it could be easier and cheaper to just handle outside of insurance.
