To reduce the amount of water entering the basement try to get the discharge from the downspouts as far away from the house as possible. If you live on a street that has a storm sewer then get the water to the storm sewer. The average sized house will have over 2,000 gallons of water coming off of the roof from a rain strom that drops an inch of rain.
If you have a hill near the house that makes the rain water run towards the house then install a collection basin and a drain line towards the storm sewer.
Repair any cracks in the interior of the foundation with hydraulic cement to reduce water seepage.
, I own my house and the original part is from the 30's the basement leaks like crazy even from the cement floor, plus I am doing bathroom renovations and well you name I wanna do it most likely, as cheap as possible too so I hope to get as much help as possible
