We have endured other floods in the 13 years we've been on Logan Martin. Good, secure construction will endure this and other floods. The treated lumber will be fine, but will be covered with coating of mud and silt. As soon as the water recedes, wash with enough pressure or stiff bristle brush and biodegradable soap. It may take two applications and get it out of the cracks. Mud retains moisture and causes rot on wood or rust on metal. Get the mud and trash off, and your lumber will be fine, especially since its only two years old. When warmer and drier weather arrives, apply a coat of water-seal or your choice of wood treatment. This protective coating will add years to the life of the lumber. Follow directions and apply correctly. Our dock was built from pressure treated pine in January of 1995 and we've kept it clean, and treated it once a year. Looks great when not under water.
Good luck!
