I think he's talking about something like this:http://www.waterproof.com
which is a retrofit plastic 'baseboard' that is epoxied to the slab.
They work pretty well if care is taken during the installation - same
as anything. �Around here a drain tile refers to a pipe that is buried
under the slab or runs along the outside of the footing.

Thanks!

after spending near 20 grand

fix the obvious but dont bother installing much in the way of exterior
french drains, they always clog over time ( the proof is the 3
previous attempts at the home all clogged with silt)

holes should be drilled into EACH block cavatity, so no water is
trapped at any time. the plastic baseboard should cover the holes at
the very bottom of the cavatity and send the water under the slab, to
the perforated pipe in a good gravel bed. ideally draining to
daylight, or if not possible to a sump pump.

all other partial fixes will see you doing it again
