If you have a storm drain you can run tile into that which is the best case because your sump becomes a back up in the event of a plugged storm drain.

Tour problem may also be as simple as some grading or landscaping around your house to move water away from your house.

You know how much I pay attention to Hud statements, but wouldn't you have to disclose existence an aquifer? (I really don't know so am asking)
