ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for collecting fluid seepage in a building structure or the like wherein the structure is constructed with generally horizontal slabs having separations therein, such as expansion joints and/or shrinkage cracks, settlement cracks, stress cracks or the like. The apparatus includes first and second elongate barrier strips operably positionable along opposite sides of the separation. A flexible collection sheet is hung from mounting channels on the outer edges of the barrier strips. Drip contour lips are fashioned upon the inner edges of the barrier strips and serve to direct fluid seepage passing through the expansion joint, stress crack, or the like, into the collection sheet.
