When a 'floating' floor is placed in a house, that simply means it is not nailed to the sub-floor and was it grows and shrinks with moisture or the movement of the house settling or aging, it can do so. There is usually about a half inch of space between the flooring and the walk to permit this movement without buckling.
Have never installed with anything other than 'paper' but I understand there is some thicker material available as rgatijnet1 mentioned. I suggest that if you can actually feel the floor 'move' then this might not be normal. Is this movement detected anyplace you step, or is it just in the area of where the leak took place?
