generally a sump pump won't help if the water is coming through a crack in the wall...
It usually indicates there is a lot of water around your foundation seeping through the ground right next to your foundation wall. Usually as some houses do not have gutters. It is always best to grade the land so the water runs away from the house but standing water near your foundation will run down the wall and pour in through any crack in that wall....
Checklist:
1. Gutters
2. Direct downspouts as far away from the foundation as possible
3. Regrade the land so water runs away from foundation walls.
4. Repair any cracks in the walls and foundation floor...
5. Install a sump pump if necessary.
