Basement Waterproofing - Water almost up the bottom step

When I arrived on site to lend a hand the sucker pump had already been working for an hour or so. There was still around 7-8 inches of water in this basement. While it was the worst flood I've personally seen, the guys on the crew were trading stories of much worse situations. One foreman said that he once had to put chest waders on to navigate a basement flooded with over 3 feet of water.
