Default Installing weeping tile "inside" a basement-any advice

You mean plastic drain tile pipe, the sock covered type is best so it
doesnt clog early, it must be surrounded in proper type of gravel of
proper thickness. Done wrong in one year it may clog and be worthless.
Done right Ive seen many 80 yr old systems still operational. It must
have proper pitch to drain to sump . It makes for alot more work to do
it right. Get a book and be sure to follow codes.
