<<Yeah, I had a water heater that leaked all over the place. >>

In my case I had a pressure tank replaced. The bladder in my old one leaked air into the air space. The new tank came with a plastic fitting that ruptured so the well pump spent about half an hour pumping water through a 1" line into the basement. My basement is 2,000 square feet with 1,600 square feet of carpet. 3 days with a shop vac but I did have very clean carpet.

<<The sump pump picks up the water in the pipes under the footings which keeps the basement dry. >>

In the old days they hooked those lines into the sewage line. Now they don't let you do that. I've got enough slope away from my house that I don't even have those lines around the foundation. Those are usually 4" slotted flexible pipe that's laid, covered with newspaper and then covered with gravel. By the time the paper rots the gravel has settled.
