OP postrer needs interior french drain before ANY FUTHER WORK

with a sump draining to a pump or ideally daylight


As we have discussed on here before, drains belong OUTSIDE the wall.


But still below the footings. A perimeter drain 18" below grade will
do a little good-- but an interior perimeter drain will do more.
