Repairing Pergo Laminate Floor boards in LR (installed, damage, replace)

[AZgarden]

Hi all: I accidentally left a bottle of windex on the LR floor and the dog dumped it over and I didnt see it for a couple hours. Now those 4 boards are buckled. They end at a wall but the installer says he has to take up half the floor to get to them because they are click in. This involves a huge area and if he should damage them, I only have 2 boxes left of the stuff. Is there no other way to replace these four boards, which border a wall but are in the center of the floor.?

No, it has to be uninstalled in reverse order of erection and reinstalled. That goodness you save some, because they changed it in 2012. Pay the guy and be happy, and pay more attention to puppy, or leaving things lying around.
