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.

Water is not properly diverted away from the home. Water enters basement from seam between first floor and basement, trickling indoors alongside the foundation. We are told we need a grading diverting the water away from the home.

Basement Water Damage Restoration
Basement flooding may not cause structural danger to your property. But you will suffer damage to your furniture and other stored items that you have in your basement. If you have cherished photographs, mementos, a wedding dress or some keepsake stored in your basement, the losses can be enormous in emotional value. Basement leaks are luckily easier to detect, and manifest themselves as stains on the floors or walls, that are easy to diagnose.
The signs of basement water damage are more easily identifiable than in other areas of the house like your bathroom. Look for water stains on the carpets or floors, and walls. Check for white mineral deposits on concrete surfaces - these occur when the water passes through concrete walls. Rusty nails and rusty feet of furniture are another sure sign that moisture levels in the basement are above normal. If the wood furniture in your basement is a darkened hue, it can indicate that the wood has absorbed water.
Sump pumps offer some protection, when there is flooding in the basement. Water damage can sometimes be accompanied by power failure, so make sure that your sump pump has a battery operated mechanism ready for use for basement drying if need arises.
