[quote=Anonymous]Depends on what you ultimately want. On the outside, you need to both seal and install a drain system that leads to a sump pump that discharges the water at least 10 feet away from the foundation (run a drainpipe away from the sump pump discharge). That will keep your walls and basement dry. It can also be expensive to do with all the labor involved. On the interior French drain, the basement will have humidity (and potentially mold) as the water will still be penetrating inside. It only helps keep the basement floor from having standing water.
