Default water buildup in concrete block foundation

the water level is below the floor height, so it doesn't get the floor
wet. I am more concerned about mold/mildew.


Years ago my parents had a house that flooded (creek/lake over flow) under
the house. They had flood insurance and it covered having the block
foundation drilled at the bottom of each row of blocks to drain and then
they sprayed something (don't know what it was, maybe just bleach) into each
row that would kill/prevent mildew and plugged the holes. That was in 1983
and I'm now living in the same house and have had no problems since that
time. RM~
