I had a sump pump failure during Ida and as part of the remediation, decided to replace carpet with porcelain tiles. Even during Ida, I never had water coming up the floor.
After putting in porcelain tiles, there is a small section of the floor where I got water during yesterday's heavy rains. I am thinking this is because the grade changed a bit when the new tiles came up (fresh cement) leading to a low spot where the hydrostatic pressure is now too much. Any other reasons this could suddenly happen after putting tiles?
Are there any ways to remediate?
Thanks

I know you said you never had water before but my first thought is you did and you just didn't notice it because the carpet and any pad underneath did a good job of concealing it from you. That said, you said, "new cement" so tell us more about this new CONCRETE (cement is an ingredient in concrete).

Is your sump pump back to working condition??
