After a heavy downpour, water got into the basement. I pumped it out and put up fans, but after a few days, a rotten smell started to appear. Maybe there is still moisture under the floor? I don't want to take everything apart for nothing.

Yes, that's most likely the case. I had the same problem last year — it turned out that the wooden beams hadn't dried completely. I found an explanation on https://qualityrestoration.com/, which describes in detail how to check the moisture content in wood to avoid mold and unpleasant odors.
