It turned out that the water was coming up through the drain in the floor of the workshop when we ran a load of laundry or drained the tub. So somewhere along the way, there was a blockage sending the water back into the house. Brian rented one of those snakes and sent 'er down the pipe! It reached all the way to the septic tank, so apparently whatever was blocking it was pushed out of the way. We ran the washer several times, filled and drained the tub, and there was no water in the basement! Yay! Grace was very eager to help and supervised in her rubber boots while we ran the washer to make sure the water wasn't going to come back up.
I have to give Brian credit. Since we moved into the new house, he has proved to be much more of a handyman than I thought he would be!
