No!!!!! just back off on the water. Don't RIP anything. When you DO repot, be gentle... pull sphag from the center, to clear the impacted areas. Don't worry about getting all the old sphag off. Bad roots will come off with the old sphag but preserving the good roots is far more important than getting rid of all the bad ones. Also remember, a root with soggy velamin (the coating of the root) may still be able to help the plant since the active part is the stringy piece in the middle.
Aliceinwl is spot on with a good approach. Based on experience...
