Now there are three inches of water across the finished basement, the carpet is floating at the edges, and the furnace is sitting in it.

Pumping is just the start. The real work is pulling water from carpet and walls and drying concrete that wants to hold moisture.

Pumps take out deep water first, and extraction tools finish the carpet and edges.
Drywall and fiberglass insulation on below-grade walls are cut out above the wet line so framing and the foundation wall behind it can dry.
Concrete slabs and block walls release moisture slowly. Dehumidifiers and air movers run until readings show the slab and framing are dry.
Floor drain backups can bring contaminated water. Affected areas are sanitized before drying begins.
Contractors can point out a failed float switch, clogged discharge line, or missing battery backup, and recommend a plumber or waterproofing pro if needed.
Call +1-877-637-9008 and say how deep the water is, whether the basement is finished, and if the furnace or water heater is affected.
You will get an arrival window and a safety reminder about outlets and the panel.

Clean water and quick action can save it. Drain backups usually mean replacement.
Typically three to seven days. Concrete and block walls hold moisture longer than above-grade spaces, so basements often take more time.
Have a licensed technician check any equipment the water touched before using it.
It depends on the cause. Sudden pipe bursts are often covered. Sump pump failures may need a specific endorsement, and groundwater flooding is usually excluded. Ask your agent.
