Spring thaw plus a dead sump pump is a classic basement flood. Water comes up through the floor drain, seeps through cracks, and spreads under carpet and behind finished walls. Cleaning it up properly means pumping, extracting, removing wet finishes, and drying a space that naturally holds humidity.
