No sand, will not stop the issue.
No berm, it will retain water under the house.
French drain large enough to hold the volume of a heavy rain like today.
Long term, you will have erosion as water continues to get underneath the home, this will cause structural issues.
Solution- keep it as dry as possible/dry it out as quick as possible- sump pump will do this.
You can call WCK foundations to look at your issues and see what they advise. I am a contractor and this is what I have seen be successful with pier and beam porches and homes
