Floor sagging and wood rot under it?

My living room wall was sagging and the termite guy was nice enough to jack it up for free for me. There are water pipes in the wall because the washing machine is on the other side. When i did not live there years ago there was apparantly a leak. I recenly moved my couch away from the wall and there were dents left in the oak floors where the couch sits. The floor boards have also seperated slightly from each other. It appears that the leak from years ago caused the subfloor to rot. The wall is level but the floor is slightly sunken in.
Does anyone know how much this could cost to fix?
There area where the floor boards have spread from each other is only about 8 square feet.
Would it be easy to fix and could i salvage my oak floors?
I live in arkansas by the way.
please advise.
