Oh Deb so sorry to hear about your flood, we have lived in our home for 7 years and 5 times we watched the bubbles come up through the floor. We put in a sump-pump and it helps, but we still get water. I too lost some of my sewing fabrics and then moved my sewing room up stairs (much smaller room) but dry. I threw out my throw rugs they got moldy on the bottom. We even took them outside and hung them out to dry hoping to save them. I haven't gotten wet yet...but we are watching. Good luck. I too will be looking into this hydralic cement.
