Good luck to anyone who wants to even renovate a home for the next 2+ years.
The best thing she can do at this point is get the tools and start ripping out wet sheet rock and ripping the floor down to concrete. Use fan to dry everything out and then turn on the air conditioner to really dry it out.

It will take a while to find a contractor to repair it, but she might try to DIY the job.
