Abstract

A side drain device for channeling excess water beneath a basement slab proximate an interior sidewall of a footing. The device includes a vertical first wall section, a perforated second wall section, and a third wall section attached between lower portions of the first and second wall sections to form a drainage channel. The first wall section is configured for placement adjacent to the interior sidewall of the footing. A fourth wall section extends horizontally from an upper portion of the first wall section for placement on a top surface of the footing. A fifth wall section is coupled to an upper portion of the second wall section and above the fourth wall section to form a gap therebetween. The fourth and fifth wall sections are configured for communication with a channel drain device which is selectively positioned on the top surface and adjacent to a wall of the basement.
