Did you ever consider installing a drain pipe?

Sounds like your home has drainage issues, how about regrading, run
downspouts etc well away from home.

This is way better than pumping water and can be a permanent solution
requiring no maintence.

Hard work and disruptive but fixes it forever, espically at home
resale ime when you will HAVE to disclose it, and scare away buyers or
HAVE to fix it then, or worse sell for a low price
