I had timber door frames so I used a 100mm grinder to cut a space to slide the floor under the frame. One thing to note before laying the floor boards. Check how level the slab is before you start!!!!! My floor was 20mm shallow in one section. Carpet hides the bad concrete slab but floors will float above and give the creaking when you stand on a hollow. I used a very runny slurry to level the floor. I did it in stages so it could dry quickly. As for the wet issue. I had a fish tank leak and a shower leak out on the floors. the water filled the underlay and spread quickly. We used towels and walked over the joins to compress the underlay to expel the water. It took days to get rid of it even with the heaters running flat out. There was no evidence at all.
