A flooded basement needs more than a pump-out. Finished basements hide water inside walls and under carpet, and concrete slabs release moisture for days, so drying takes a plan.

Pumps take out deep water first, and extraction tools finish the carpet and edges.
Wet drywall and insulation come out so the studs and foundation wall can breathe.
Concrete gives off moisture for days, so dehumidifiers keep running until the slab tests dry.

Common causes include a failed sump pump or float switch, a clogged discharge line, heavy rain on saturated soil, a backed-up floor drain, or a new foundation crack. The contractor can help identify the source.
If the water was clean and extracted quickly, the carpet may be saved with new pad. If it came from a drain backup or outside seepage, it usually should be replaced.
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.
Coverage varies by cause. Sump backup often requires an add-on, so check with your agent.
