French Drains & Sump Pumps: Are They Working?

We have moisture seeping through two walls in our basement and at the edges of the cement floor. When we purchased this house 5 yrs ago, the realtor told us the water problem was corrected with French drains. We also have 2 sump pumps but don't know how or if they work.

It sounds like your problem is the sump pumps aren't working... because if they were, you would know... Just from hearing them. If they aren't, then that is most likely the reason for your water trouble.
Also, if their sumps are relatively dry.... and they would work if there is water, perhaps the drain lines to them are clogged?? How close is the water seepage problem to the sumps?
