2. 'Some" water got underneath some of our LVP. We assume we need to contact floor company to take up LVP, dry it, possible replace membrane, put LVP back down. ANYTHING ELSE ?

We appreciate responses. Hope everyone came out as good or better than we did.

Item 1, I would have the drywall removed to make sure the wall completely dries out and you do not get mold. After several days I would then close the wall up.

Item 2, I believe this depends a lot on the type of flooring. We have LVP this is 100% waterproof; in which case I would not do anything except dry the surface. Some LVP type floors may have an engineered wood core that I would be very concerned about as these can absorb water and swell. If you happen to have some scrap pieces of the flooring, take a piece and soak it in water and see what happens. Also, many manufacturers have instruction on how to remove sections of flooring without having to remove the whole floor and then replace the damaged sections. You would need to have or get suitable matching flooring.
