If they are engineered floors, they are done and need replacing. If they are solid plank wood flooring, go the ServePro method with the heaters and dehumidifiers.

For a. Couple years I lived in a house so old it flooded in the big flood in the 20s. The floors were original hardwood pine. But there was no subfloor and no backing layers and all that other stuff that makes up a modern floor. That old structure could dry out, sand and refinish. The wood floors in my current house would have to be pulled to the support joist, which I would dry before reconstructing the floors from the bottom up. I'm just guessing here, but if you have a modern home, you probably have to pull them.
