Our pump started Saturday... unfortunately, the PVC that it was running out to had a cracked coupling and was dumping the water right back into the basement as it was pumping back out.
Our basement had about 4"- 5" of even water coverage, and we spent a good few hours last night using our shopvac to take up 12gal of water at a time and put it right back to the pump.
And of course, there's a ton of seepage since the ground is soaked, so it just catches right back up to where we drained.
We had to revamp some of our drainage, too.
*sigh*
