A downstairs basement bedroom had water run in from the egress window under the sill. The bedroom carpet was soaked and the drywall looks to be damaged. I sucked up about 2 gallons of water out of the carpet and it is mostly dry, but now I'm starting to notice a musty smell in the basement.

Basement Water Damage Restoration
Basement leak problems are the easiest to detect. They are also the most often neglected. Although the structural damage caused by a basement leaks isn't as heavy as in other areas of the house, there are other issues related to basement flooding that are problematic. The growth of mold for instance, is exacerbated in the dark and cool conditions in the basement, and your stored items and furniture are likely to suffer extensive damage.
Mold and mildew are dead giveaways, and are easy to spot. If you've noticed that musty odor that's typical of mold formation in your basement, begin looking for the growth immediately. Metal feet of furniture that are rusted, white patches on concrete walls, water stains on walls and floors, floor cracks with stains around them indicating water pressure -- theses are all signs of a water damage problem that could get ugly, if left untreated.
A sump pump can be a godsend when your basement gets flooded. Make sure that your sump pump is perfectly serviced, and is in mint condition. Nothing is worse than a sump pump that refuses to work just when you need it for basement drying. Most components of a sump have to be replaced within 10 years, and if your sump pump is older than that, replace it immediately.
