ABSTRACT:
System for preventing the accumulation of water within exterior foundation areas, such as basement window wells, even under conditions of extreme groundwater flow. The system comprises a combination of an upper horizontal conduit section which extends out through a bore in a basement wall and opens into the dry well area within an exterior basement window well, and has an opposed end which opens at the interior surface of the basement wall, and an elongate, vertical stepped wall panel having a central stand-off conduit section and opposed vertical seat portions which sealingly-engage the interior surface of the basement wall and form therebetween the central, vertical, raised or stand-off water-conveying conduit section. The wall panel extends from an upper location, above the interior opening of the horizontal conduit, to a lower water-drainage location, preferably within a horizontal baseboard water drainage system, to permit the free flow of water from the window well, through the basement wall, and down between the raised or standoff vertical water-conveying conduit section and the wall surface into the water drainage system.
