ABSTRACT:
A subterranean panel drain is provided comprising a unitary prefabricated panel having a serpentine shaped transverse cross-section defining a series of substantially vertically arrayed corrugations. A plurality of spaced slots is provided in each alternately arrayed corrugation with the slots preferably being disposed at an angle to a horizontal plane passing through the panel. In one preferred embodiment, the subterranean panel drain may be employed in abutting relation against a foundation wall to form a conduit between moisture in the soil adjacent the foundation and a conventional drain pipe at the base of the foundation. In another preferred embodiment, a pair of subterranean panel drains may be placed in back-to-back relation to form a curtain drain for transferring collected moisture in soil to a drainage pipe.
