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.

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.

If water came up through holes in the slab, then best case he's going
to have damp and mold issues. I wouldn't be finishing the basement
without getting that checked out at least. In an unfinished basement
it need not be a huge job.
