Three years.

There is no such thing as a "wateproof" basement. There are a
variety of solutions that will attempt to limit water and moisture
intrusion into a basement, but from a practical standpoint, nothing
can really guarantee that a basement is waterproof. And what exactly
does waterproof mean? The seller could very well argue that
whatever system he had in place, which you say was working so you paid
it no mind for 2 1/2 years, was in fact, waterproofing, because it
kept the basement floor dry.

I think you're going to have a very difficult time prevailing in a
basement water case when you didn't make any claim until 2 1/2 years
after the sale. And from a practical standpoint, you're limited to
small claims, because it isn't going to be worth the legal expense to
pursue this, unless you want to throw good money after bad.
