Put in a sump pump. I know, doesn't help you now. Put one in though.
3 years ago my basement got flooded as well. The water kept coming in for a week after it stopped raining. Put 2 sump pumps in the worst spots and this year not a drop came in. The pumps were running every 3-4 minutes for a few days and are still running once an hour now, but they did their job.
My neighbour didn't put any in, thinking we wouldn't get that much rain again. He has 4 inches in his basement. He'd just put in new carpet as well. He's p*ssed.
