Sump pump will probably get rid of the wet basement.
I would first check the slope of the area around the house. Does the water drain back to the foundation?
Make sure the downspouts from the gutters run out from the house.
Is there a high water table where you live? A sump pump will lower water level and you basement should stay dry.
The condensate drain from the a/c unit can also be pumped via a small pump (look up Little Giant pumps) to your sewer drain.
Some cities do not allow sump pumps to discharge to the sewer drain. It must be pumped back outside. This also makes sense if you are on a self contained septic system or field.
The a/c in the house will also help dry it out, but the dehumidifier will probably still be needed for at least a while.
