My husband and I bought some laminate flooring and after about 5-6 months it seems like one area of the floor has air underneath it. We left a .25 inch space around the whole livingroom but we still have a huge problem. What can we do to fix this. It seems like one section of the flooring looks like its almost at a v. What can we do??

I pray your flooring was the kind that snaps together and is not glued or nailed. Your subfloor was probably not level or it recently settled. Is there a chance you have very high humidity? The laminate company will give you their specs for leveling the floor, often plastic shims. Unfortunately I think you will need to take up the floor for proper repair. I would wait a full season to see if things settle down with the change of seasons.

Your Right About The 1/4" Gap , That's Good But Check Door Jambs Also If You've Cut Them Tight It Will Also Cause This,
Is Your Floor Concrete, Maybe A Basement, Reason I Ask Is You May Be Getting Some Moisture Under The Floor, If So Use A Dehumidifier And See If This Helps
If You Can Push Your Floor Back Down It Must Be Tight Somewhere Your Not Seeing
