Damp Door and Delamination

To assess the extent of the floor delamination, the carpet has to come up;

Carpet held down by staples.Use a flat bladed screwdriver and pliers to remove.	Delamination goes to the fridge, on the right, so that is how much the carpet is taken up.	Estimating the size of the area to be fixed.
Seems to be approx 1 square metre.	Join in the floor moves 4mm.	Removing the cushion flooring, this is what was found.
Floor is not wet, but there is a soft area.	Swinging kitchen unit out of the way, it goes 150mm from the doorway.	But how far to the right?
Had to take out the fridge to look, 4 screws and it was out, note the flexible gas pipe.	Relieved to see it doesn't go far this way.	With the side panel to the fridge removed, the full extent of patch can be seen.
Used a heat gun to put some heat into the area, from below and above, took a while.	Heat from above,the area did not feel wet to the touch and meter readings were not high.	Area treated with wood hardener, softest just inside the door.
