Puddles in Basement - French Drain?

[Frank Oudheusden]

Hey everyone,

I just bought my first SFH in April. When it rains I get some water in the basement. The puddles cover approx 50-60% of the floor and are normally 1/2" deep. It's walk-able with boots on.

I have gutters on the home, the front one dumps pretty far away from the foundation (5' or so) and the back downspout goes into a pipe which runs through the basement and dumps into my main drain and runs out to the street.

The grading on the house isn't the best but I'm not on a hill anything extreme.

The water seems to be coming up through the floor.

I'm assuming this will require a french drain system but am looking for alternatives or advice on the matter. Any idea what the cost of this would be?

Basement footprint is approx 20' x 40'
