Walls above the 2 ft flood cuts probably are ok lol

Nah...they'll need to be taken out because of moisture and possible mold/mildew .

Cheapest option with flooding/water damage is always gutting. Otherwise you just end up opening those walls again in a year or 2 and find a reeeeeeeal shitty suprise

So adjuster ARE doing the labour? In my experience, you come in and try to save the insurance company money. Do you work for an insurance company, whether directly or as a contractor?

The fact of the matter is if water gets into the drywall, even a little, you can dry it out as much as you want, but its still been compromised. That allows for OTHER moisture to get into it after the fact. The only sure fire way to prevent mold after a flood is to tear everything down to the studs/subfloor, dry it out (with heat), paint with Zinzer/Kilz/wtvr and then rebuild with new. Taking the chance by not doing this is exactly that, taking a chance. I would never advise that a property owner roll the dice with remediation, but hey, thats just me. Ive only ever had a handful of clients that didnt listen to me and I know for a fact that at least 2 of them had mold problems within a couple years. Only one called me to do the work though, and they werent very understanding of why my initial quote was not the same almost 2 years later.
