What's wrong with this floor?
I had a 13mm laminate floor installed about 6 weeks ago. The edges of the boards are turning up. I suspect the installer didn't give the flooring room to expand under the shoe molding. What do you think? Best fix?

We always install drain trays under our laundry units which are plumbed directly into the waste water system. We also stick to tile or vinyl plank in areas such as bathrooms and laundry.
