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 gives off moisture for days, so dehumidifiers keep running until the slab tests 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.
