It was only about 2 inches of water, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry. I spent the weekend ripping up carpet, subfloor and cuttting out drywall and it sucked. I don't feel like going through that again. I'm also thinking of putting down a tile floor instead of carpet this time.

I've got foundation with polystyrene insulation, which is ok if it gets wet. Would it be difficult to match up the Durock with the drywall if I go that route?
