Default Water in the basement

Not really a lot of water, but when it rains I get a trickle.
50 year house, did all the things in order to stop it, but it
still comes in. Rerouted downspouts, lots of soil to keep the water away
from the house, etc.
A local company I called, has a different idea the they say, will stop this
forever.
It called WaterGuard, a perimeter type indoor system that goes inside
the the basement. Cement floor is cut and a special trough is
installed, and routed to a sump pump.

Any body every heard of it or have it installed. The company
that does this, has a very good reputation for doing good work.
Thanks,


There is more than one way to fix a leaking basement. Contractors seem
to all have their preferred method. But before I could make a
judgement I would want to know exactly how or where the water is
getting into the basement.
