It was suggested to us that a drain/pipe associated with the condenser pump on our furnace could have caused it. There was no sign of water on the walls. Is it possible for a clogged drain to cause 5 to 6 inches of water?

5 or 6 inches of water? No condenser did that. A disconnected downspout could have though. And (arg) have you noticed any drop in your water pressure? A broken water main can keep sending water through your pipes for months before the flow stops completely and pump thousands of gallons into the ground in the meantime....water that eventually drains into your basement, often where the foundation wall and the floor meet. A boken pipe under the basement floor will do this 'sudden' flooding thing too. Good luck my friend.

Check all the drains and downspouts around the outer perimeter of the house. One or more could be plugged or off and the waters running to the house instead of away from it. Also, have you changed anything lately?
Your sub pump drain may have plugged up in some manner, check everything out.
I had fill brought in for my drive, close to the front of the house, it changed the way the water drained away from the front walls and I actually had water running down the walls much to my horror.
I never thought about this before but, I now watch what I do.
