I have an older 1970s house that has a similar problem more so since climate change has been increasing the amount of water dropped in a storm.
The actual best thing is it get out the shovel and start digging. Installing a French drain and plumbing my gutter spouts and moving that out flow 15 feet away from the house fixed all my water issues.
And while I was putting back the soil I ran new landscaping fabric to reduce weeds as well as to grade the 4 feet of surface next to the house.
