Where we live the water table is very high and most people have some slight amount of water in the basements of these 80+ yo homes.
We didn't have a sump hole though most do, and were getting some water inside. Some would also come up.
We had the interior drain put in and connected to a sump hole with pump. Since then, we have never had water inside, but oddly enough, have never had water flowing into the sump hole! During Hurricane Irene, the water rose in the hole, but it wasn't enough to get the pump on!
We're happy with this approach, but at the same time, we spend about $100/month, maybe more to run dehumidifiers to keep the basement at 50% RH, which is pretty humid, and can't seem to get that down.
