We had the same thing happen several years back, only a month after we had completed a $45,000 job to finish the basement. Our homeowners insurance covered the damage, but it was a hassle getting things back to the way they were. Right after that we installed a battery backup system. The backup system was called "Ace in the Hole" and you can find them at any Home Depot, Lowes or Menards there in the Chicago area. I highly recommend having a backup if there is anything of value in your basement.
