All I can tell you is I had water in the basement too yesterday, and I
don't care how big of a pump you have. If the water table is rising
all around you, there' not much you can do.
I was using my pump yesterday and as fast as I sucked water out of one
corner of my basement, the water came back in.
Finally this morning, the water receded.
