The solution may be as simple as painting those interior basement walls with a paint that resists hydrostatic pressure. It may be a wise choice to consider before investing in a more eleborate remedy.

There are many brands of this type of paint avaialble at a variety of prices, typically $30 to $50 per gallon. These are water based, latex paints that can be applied to a wall surface even if it is wet, are safe for interior use and are easy to apply with a roller.

I would rather recommend to turn to professionals with this problem. I used to hire one good company, see it here and was pretty satisfied with the repair and results in general. Simply give them a call and be sure you will get a qualified help. Good luck
