Mold, supports, supports not properly attached, supports for pvc and no slope on drains and not sure if any tiger teeth in insulation! ( see a lot of this)

The beams are wet, along with the insulation. Do you know why?? Here is another hint. How tall is a standard concrete block. This should give a little more insight on the whole issue. And the jacks and beams were jim bob's repair on a sinking floor in multiple locations. I stopped counting at 20 poorly added braces
