Can your solid base cabinet have some holes drilled in it somehow to allow the moisture to evaporate?

Just so you can breath a little easier. If your floor had been OSB it does not swell like particleboard. I work in a plant that manufactures sturdi-wood and have tested the stuff. Mitch is right, it will swell, but only with continued exposure to water. Not like particle board that seems to double in size the first time your water bed springs a leak. One of the ingredients in the process is wax that repels water.
I think I agree with christy and the weight thing. Ask EmilyB about how the carpet looked when she moved the 155 G.
