Bill, the problem with my home is that I don't have the yard to do any grading with and since my downspouts are already at 20' out, I'm basically out of other options besides spending gobs of cash on replacing each remaining older wall. I wouldn't do that even if I had the cash to because the older walls aren't structurally problematic. But even if I did, I'd still be dealing with managing the water once it's inside because no way exists to prevent it from coming in, especially now that I have a perimeter drain line that channels water into a sump basin through the footing for it to be pumped out. I guess the sad fact is that this house is landlocked because nobody has any real solutions for this situation except the constant critiquing of ideas that have been proposed, which isn't anyone's fault, it's just the cards in the dealt hand. The only options here--to my knowledge--is an interior drain system.
