Patent

CA 2477055

The present invention is a method and apparatus for deflecting liquid from a foundation wall of a structure. The apparatus comprises a flashing of non- ferrous metal that is fastened to the foundation below the grade level of the soil. The method comprises exposing the foundation while below grade, installing the flashing around the perimeter of the structure's foundation and then back-filling soil against the foundation thereby covering the flashing. During heavy rains or floods, water seeping into the soil surrounding the structure is deflected away from the foundation by the flashing. This prevents water from pooling at the bottom of the foundation and seeping up into the structure through the joint where the foundation meets the basement floor.
