I've seen a few videos about the kinds of drainage systems some companies can install and the one I'm hoping to install in my basement is the kind that uses weep holes in the bottom wall blocks combined with drip board to encapsulate the water underneath the eventual concrete that seals the drainage trench that the drain pipes rest in. Here's a video example of the kind I'm referring to: https://youtu.be/IVgmcXlONpA?t=144

Seems like it would be awfully difficult for any water to bypass something like that.
