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,

Every situation is different and a careful analysis will tell you
which method is best. You have already done the important things. UGL
is a rubber-type cement paint that may stop some leaks. Water tiles
on the outside of the foundation works very well, but it is expensive
due to the digging involved.
