    If you have a sump pump there is a product that will route the water to your sump. Try this site for more info Wet Basements Made Dry - Basement De-Watering Systems Home Page This is a bit pricey at $10 per foot. You may need to look at the outside foundation and make sure the dirt is pitched away from the house and all down spouts terminate about 5 feet from the foundation.
