If it is Pergo, it is probably not glued down. It is a floating floor. If it is bubleing up, then the most likely causes include
- water damage has caused some pieces to swell
- improper installation

If the floor is more than 3-4 years old, it is likely that the pieces are glued together (rather than snapped together). If this is the case, the only solution I see is actually cutting out the damaged section, and replacing it. If it is near one edge, you may be able to buy a box of pergo and rebuild that edge. If it's in the middle of the floor...well, it sucks to be you.

Figure out what kind of floor you have, and go to Home Despot. Take a look at what they have and figure out how the floor is put together before you take it apart.

Best of luck.
