Critique my plan for DIY Foundation and gutter drains

https://imgur.com/a/6GVmi74 I bought an old house that gets an inch of water in the basement when it rains hard. There is existing concrete pipes that dont work so well on the east and west sides of the house diagrams. I want to dig them up, put some foundation coating on the concrete then dimple mat on top. I'm planning do the 4" perforated PVC pipe on the bottom with burrito wrapped drainage rock and non woven geotextile fabric around it. Above that will be the gutter drains in solid 4" PVC. I'm looking for some feedback on where i can improve. Looking at the images now, I drew the dimple mat foundation wrap too far down and should have only gone to the corner of the footer like the manufacturer recommends. Here are the products I plan on using: Pipes: IPEX 4 inch x 10 feet PVC Sewer Perforated Pipe IPEX 4 inch x 10 feet PVC Sewer Solid Pipe Fittings: IPEX 4 inch 90 degree PVC Sewer Long Elbow - H IPEX 4 inch 45 degree PVC Sewer Elbow - H IPEX 4 inch 22 1/2 degree PVC Sewer Elbow - H IPEX 4 inch x 4 inch x 4 inch PVC Sewer Sanitary Tee - H IPEX 4 inch x 4 inch x 4 inch PVC Sewer Wye - H IPEX 4 inch PVC Sewer Coupling - H IPEX 4 inch PVC Sewer Cleanout Plug - FPT IPEX 4 inch PVC Sewer Cleanout Adapter - SpxFPT (4) Euramax Canada Flex-Grate Downspout Filter White Misc: Oatey 473 Ml Pvc Cement Medium Gray (C) NESTLAND Geotextile Landscape Non Woven Fabric - 48-in x 300-ft Yard drainage RELN 10-inch Square Catch Basin Kit with Black Grate RELN 13 in.
