In terms of getting the majority of the water out - your best bet would be to get a wet/dry vacuum. My neighbor accidentally flooded their basement a couple years ago and I was able to get to get most of the water with mine. You can rent one for about $20/day, but if this is a recurring problem you might want to buy one if you can afford it.
