Condensate pump is probably the best simple idea. Looks like the small end starts about $150ish, which isn't at all bad.

The water is coming up from below, typically, but sometimes comes through the walls. I suspect that, beneath the foundation, it's just dirt, not rock. The house was built in 1927, so it doesn't exactly meet modern code for drainage. : )

Yeah, a french drain would be a great idea, but the expense is a little daunting. ... Much like the expense of actually installing a proper drainage system in the basement, really.

Thanks for the ideas. : )
