The SM components on that board are massive so buzzing through won't be any harder than through hole components. You can check the switch with a meter, likewise the relay.

are you insured ?

If they stay open, it's the switch.
This is where I have a huge advantage living in Scotland - the tap water here is so soft it's more or less de-ionised. When I've had water-damaged gear in that definitely hasn't been turned on yet 'just to see', I've washed it all very thoroughly with the ordinary shower, then left it in the hot water tank cupboard for at least a week, and I have a near 100% success rate - I actually can't think of any that have failed, off the top of my head (I don't want to tempt fate by not saying 'near'!).
But if the owner has already powered it up, all bets are off...

@icbm poles are unconnected when at rest, when pushed they are connected. I assume this is correct(?)

The other chips I can't see the numbers but guessing a quad opamp and maybe a dual .... there's also what looks look 4 FET's .. Q1 to 4
So when checking through first identify the chips and make sure each chip has volts on it's VCC + supply pin so pin 1 on the 4049.
If that other large DIL is a quad opamp then pin 4 is V+
Generally when something fails it's because a semiconductor has been reverse biased, caps and resistors and passive components are either unaffected or in the case of polarised caps reasonably tolerant. Normal clean water isn't actually that conductive but something with high input impedance like a FET or the JFET input of an opamp could be reverse biased by a path created by water reacting with the PCB
I don't know if that pedals expensive but looks fixable for less than £80

Also contacted DG support but they dont supply these boards anymore.
Edit, thanks @Danny1969 cant find voltage on relay coil but connections definitely not as you describe, new one ordered.
You would expect signal straight through in bypass mode and nothing at all in effect in mode if the main circuit was faulty in terms of opamp or FET's but I'm not familiar with it's switching.
If the relay has volts and is switching then I would google the IC numbers and make sure they have volts on their VCC rail ... then put audio into the pedal and make up a probe cable connected to an amp so you can detect the audio as it travels through the stages.
Sometimes you've better off cutting the legs of an SM chip close to the body of the chip with a sharp knife. Then once the chip body is out the way it's easy to heat the dismembered leg and remove it from the pad quickly with minimum damage to the pad from heat.
Soldering another in is actually pretty easy with a long conical tip. Line it and solder 2 opposing corner legs so it can't move off square then carefully solder each leg and check for solder bridges with magnification before powering on.
Do you mean you don't have insurance or that you do, but it's not covered? If the latter, most policies should cover storm damage.
