Basement waterproofing

I am interested in buying a basement apartment that has not been occupied for 30 years. There are two holes dug in the ground; these holes are half full with water. I am told by the auctioneer that the water-table is the cause of this problem. The auctioneer insists that the floor can be "tanked", and that this will solve the problem. I know that the floor is damp but the walls are not. I have heard of a product called "Sani-Tred" (http://www.sanitred.com) that is a waterproofing sealant. Is it possible to solve the problem using this (or a similar product)? Is it possible to solve the problem at all? And if so, what is the best method?
