The slab (if it is a slab) should hang in the air, and if it is on the ground – there is no need for a strip foundation. If you mean slab – floors on the ground, they should be waterproofed and separated from the walls.
A radical move is to dismantle the floors and lay new ones on the joists (this is if the warm floors are leaking).
And to make a decision will have to drill holes along the wet walls (inside the house) to determine the level of wetness – below the floor, flush with the floor, above the floor.
