Eastern MA, basement flooding in 2010

One (of two) pumps	Tough to see, but the water is coming in under the bulkhead door, even though the lip is 2 inches above the slab
Starting tearout. There was a bookcase in front of the outlet But there has been enough water over the years that the base was totally rotted to the point that I had to throw it out	One of the two paperback bookcases already taken down
	Black line denotes the height of the backing being soggy, even a month later.
	No, thats not actually brick. It is painted on! As to why, it is a bafflement. And the tarpaper seems to be covering some sort of hole!
North wall stripped down to the studs
Studs gone, after a pass of scraping	This was 'hidden' behind the tarpaper. The old casement which now "looks" into the crawl space was merely boarded up And not particularly well, either.
Duct tape applied to "window"	After powerwashing, round 1
The wall concrete near the bottom is rather coarse; a lower quality, or merely settling?	Post round 2 of powerwashing still damp. Of interest is the black "stuff" on the left, next to the corner. So far, it seems to be some sort of plasticized/rubberized content. I suspect it hides a crack.
Post round 2 of powerwashing still damp	Hmm. Flesh colored paint Whats this about?
Walls of flesh? Pretty weird color choice Very 1950's	Oh my. Major rot on the bottom 2x3 framing timber. The rot is so bad that a lot of the nails are mostly dissolved, and the wood is crumbling.
Back to the former casement window. The fill-in: expanding polyurethane foam and a couple of random boards screwed in over the foam. The bottom board is from a bookcase destroyed by the water, repurposed.	Nope, that's not rice, those are larvae where the bottom support board was. Looks like the black goop was painted over the flesh colored paint
All set to take a first scraping pass at cleanup	Scraping done. Ready to power-wash
Power wash of west wall done	X is the hole that goes all the way through the wall
These look suspicious. Someone used plaster of paris to plug holes Very "clever" (Sarcasm)	Fortunately, they don't go all the way through the foundation This after partially filling them with hydraulic cement.
North wall done	And about half of the west wall is done
Whoops, projectus interruptus due to plumbingus brokenii This cracked drain main set me back A large number of $$$ as well. (Plumbers charge a LOT)	Workbench and shelves moved to the north end of the basement
Remaining west wall prior to demolition	Same spot post power-washing. The "X" mark another pair of holes through the foundation wall.
Another view	North end after work completed
All done except for putting the books back onto the bookshelves	This is the cleanest and tidiest the basement has been in years. Decades, actually
