Default Basement water infiltration, suggestions?

Hi all,

I am having some water infiltration, not sure if it's through the wall or up
from the floor, it is a small amount (a pint at most), and only during the
hardest rains. There is evidence of previous water damage (i.e. mold), but
that seems to be minor. I have heard a lot about various methods of
mitigation, including french drains, installing a sump pump (it's a 1928
house, I think before sumps/floor drains), excavating/reparging,
landscaping, etc. I have consulted with Mid-Atlantic Water proofing (any
comments on them??) I was wondering if people here have experience in this
or thoughts on what to do.

Thanks in advance,

Dan
Washington, D.C.
