All the rain didn’t help us at all. We ended up with standing water everywhere in that floor. Oddly, the lower floor that was already concreted showed no signs of moisture. The underground spring apparently crested right where the wood floor had been. During the heavy rains, the power was out, so no sump pump was going. Here you can see the results.

Pretty discouraged at this point. On a side note, all of the support columns were leaning several degrees. Fortunately, the pilasters under neath each one had a lot of extra surface area. We repurposed some of the old floor joists to reinforce each of the support posts. We did that before the heavy rains, so the ground was wet and soft, but you could still walk on it.
