have you considered a interior french drain with sump pump?

Nah.
I've got a sump with 2 half hp sump pumps, plus a lift system with a
1/2 hp pump.
This one.

The water nearly got to that motor.


I've got to get a new circuit there as all 3 running will trip the

And hope the power doesn't go out.

Get a battery-powered backup pump, something like Basement Watchdog.
