Floor installer came out and said it was the A/C. A/C guy came the next day and said the inside drain was clogged and fixed it. Said to wait a week in case something else was wrong.

When I was out and about today, I talked to a guy who does restorations. He said the floor needed to be pulled up and the area dried out with industrial fans before it could be re-laid.

No one else had mentioned this. It is a small area along one wall, approximately 2' by 15'. Is the drying out comment correct? Thanks!
Yes to prevent black mold.
