I was wondering if there is a way to seal a basement so that no water

We can send a man to the moon, but we can't even have a dry basement.
So true.


Sump pumps were invented for this exact reason. They make mining
possible, along with underpasses, New Orleans, the Netherlands, and a
whole lot more.

As others have pointed out, what is needed is more, in the form of a
backup pump, not less pumps.
