congratulation. you have very good luck.The damage should be taken care of by their insurance. You basically have a new basement. I think you spend lot of time for searching that house and buy it for a good reason, you just give it up that easily. A house is not a car which is a mass production product. It will have some problem here and there, even a new home would have some problems. Basically a house ownership is willing to spend money to fix or upgrade things year after year. Think of that way, it is them have to fix it not you.
Thanks all for the advices.
Currently, the insurance company (RBC) from the seller side hires a contractor to fix the problem. The seller emailed us a very detailed fix plan provided by the contractor today which lists what need to repair in a cost of over $20,000.
The report says the water went to part of the master-room, damaged part of the hard-floor in the living room, and counters and floors in the kitchen. And the whole basement almost needs to redo.
My concerns are:
1) how much the chance that the house will get molds in the future?
2) Is there any chance that the wood structure of this house being affected?
3) how can I ensure the quality of the project?
4) Should I ask the seller to cover all the extra fee (lawyer fee, inspection fee etc..) if I decide to take the house?
5) If I want to sell this house in a few years, will this accident affect the selling price?
Thanks a lot.

Nothing to worry about. after wood dry it is all OK. You can inspect the job when they are doing it and after job is done. I don't think they will cover your extra fee like lawyer fee if you have to pay it anyway. Most insurance plan will cover rental cost if you lose total usage of the house. But according to report you still can live in it.
You would still take the house on closing day or it would be delayed?
