Something we always do, is to place 1" styrafoam around the inside of the walls. We first place a 4" preferated tile all the way around, then into a pit. Once the basment floor is poured, wait a couple days and remove the foam. You have a crack in your basment floor for the water to drip into, and never have a wet basment floor.
Just last week, I was asked to help dig a pit on the outside of the basment wall for a sub pump pit. I have never done it before, but I understand it is getting popular in our area. I guess everyone wants a finished basment without a pump, making noise.
I personaly think because this house is less than 100 ft from a steep hill, that it would make better sence to drain the tile away from the house, rather than build a 10 foot deep pit. I will bet the pit isn't going to be cheap to pour.
