> am so sorry to hear that.  We used to flood also and I feel your pain, especially the back pain from cleaning up the mess.  We spent almost 10 grand replacing stuff and putting in a drainage system all around the basement with another area going across and haven't had a problem since.  I know you lost your power, but you can also get a sump pump with a battery back-up.  I don't have one of those, but if my pump ever dies, oh please not, we will get the one with the back-up just to be safe.  Wish we lived closer.  We hav lots of experience with floods.  Good luck and I hope you don't lose anything of value.  We are now on our third carpet and I have lost count of the ceilings that the humidity destroyed, I think it is 5 or 6, but no trouble since we spent all of that money, well worth it just for peace of mind.  So sad for you.
