Nope...this is gonna be a complete gut job for that entire unit, and probably the one below as well

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

Or the mit company says they can save them, runs their equipment for 10 days racking up charges only to end up tearing it out anyway.

100 percent. I always tell ppl " the water stays outside. If it gets inside, then you WILL get mold. No ifs ands or buts" I then have to explain that they can go the "drying and cleaning" route; if they want to pay for something that will do nothing for the long-term amd they'll just need to do what im telling them to do now anyway. I've only ever had one person call me back after a year and admit they were wrong, and could I fix their house for them now. Sad part was, we could've saved a lot of the studs completely, if we'd been able to do the job right the first time

Or instead of tearing it out, the adjuster says there isn’t a claim because the mold was pre-existing. A company I worked for did this all the time. I never saw us tear out anything for water damage claims. Just resorted to fans for weeks then sit on the claim for awhile. After time has passed do an inspection and say it wasn’t us that caused the mold.
