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.

do a little good-- but an interior perimeter drain will do more.

An interior drain system is a huge job. I would not go there because
1 time he had some moisture where he penetrated the slab.
