ABSTRACT:
Drainage system apparatus for collecting water from exterior walls of a building and directing the water to predetermined locations spaced away from the foundation of the building to prevent basement flooding. The apparatus uses a pitched conduit attached to an exterior wall of the building which collects and carries the water to a selected location. A siding member is also attached to the wall so that it covers the conduit to give the apparatus an appearance that is consistent with the rest of the wall. The siding member has slots to allow water to pass through the siding member and into the conduit. A starter strip secures the bottom edge of the siding member and incorporates means for discharging water overflowing the conduit at points spaced from the foundation.
