I let out a verbal "Awgh" in disgust/sadness for the garage pictures. This sucks on so many levels....
 
I'm sorry to hear. I live in a flood prone part of the world and I have lost machines because of flooding.

I have also successfully restored machines that have been underwater. It looks like you are on the right path to addressing the issues. So long as you can get in quickly and clean everything you should be okay.

I also recommend getting your hands on an ultrasonic bath if you can. Also, getting contact cleaner on wiring connectors early will be important.

For any metal surfaces that need extra time before fixing, I recommend using Inox to coat these parts until you can get to them.

All the best to you and your friend. Flooding sucks.

The fact that it’s rain water and not storm surge is what’s giving me hope. Sea water would have destroyed everything.

Good luck to you and your buddy.
 
If the power was off and you are able to clean all parts thouroughly they should be okay for the most part.
That's a job and a half to disassemble and clean everything though.
That sucks. Best of luck.
