This will allow the water to drain now you need to install a baseboard system that will collect the water and drain it to your sump pump.
How to use hydrostatic sheets on a basement wall.
To relieve hydrostatic pressure around a basement you will need to tap into the source of the water by drill weep holes into the hollow cores of the bottom row of blocks.
As a general rule hydrostatic pressure increases as subsurface depth decreases due to the increasing weight of earth and gravity generating downward force from above.
Cove joint this is where the walls meet the floor and when hydrostatic pressure increases water can seep into your basement.
The foundation wall of a building may be a cast in place concrete retaining or basement wall or a structural wall complete with load bearing pilasters.

Typical hydrostatic and soil pressures generally.
Materials used may be concrete or reinforced masonry.
I am confused as to how the dimple board relieves hydrostatic pressure on the basement wall.
Hydrostatic pressure loads may exist in cases of high water tables or flood events.
