Family member house flooded NOT on a slab?

House flooded little over 5 feet. The house has a wooden foundation and is on cinder blocks. We know the wood floors will have to ripped up but does anyone know if the foundation will need anything special done?

Unless there was severe washout nothing below the blocks should need any modification.

No clue but I woukd definitely get it evaluated by a professional

Should be fine once you rip out the subfloor and let everything dry out.

It depends. Let a professional take a look at see if there was any movement of the structure on the foundation.

Rip everything up. Let the wood foundation dry out for at LEAST a week. Begin rebuilding
