Collection: Drainage Channels

In basements these are an important part of basement waterproofing systems. They are designed to collect and channel groundwater and other sources of water away from the foundation and into a sump pump or other drainage system.

Channels are typically installed along the perimeter of the basement, at the base of the foundation walls. They consist of a sloping channel that directs water towards a collection point, where it is then directed towards a sump pump or other drainage system.

The purpose of basement drainage channels is to prevent water from seeping through the foundation walls and into the basement, which can lead to a variety of problems, including mold growth, damage to furnishings and belongings, and structural damage to the building.

By collecting and directing water away from the foundation, drainage channels help to keep the basement dry and free of moisture, which is essential for protecting the building structure and ensuring a healthy living environment.

Basement drainage channels can be made of a variety of materials, including PVC, concrete, or other durable materials, and can be installed either on the exterior or interior of the foundation walls, depending on the specific needs of the building and the location.
