Claim 1:
2. A kit for removing groundwater from an interior space of a building structure; the kit comprising:
a plurality of interconnected panels, the interconnected panels comprising;
(i) a first panel comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
(ii) a second panel with an inner surface and an outer surface, the second panel connected to the first panel at a first flex segment, the second panel substantially vertically disposed with intermittent perforations therein;
(iii) a third panel with an inner and an outer surface and intermittent perforations therein, the third panel connected to the second panel at a second flex segment and extending diagonally upward forming a channel;
(iv) a fourth panel with an upper and a lower surface, the fourth panel connected to the third panel at third flex segment, at least a portion of the lower surface of the fourth panel laid atop the upper surface of the first horizontal panel; and
(v) a fifth panel with an inner surface, an outer surface and a top edge, the fifth panel connected to the fourth panel at a fourth flex segment;

wherein the first horizontal panel is secured in position atop a foundation footing and surrounded by aggregate and the fifth panel is disposed adjacent a vertical foundation wall, the channel operable to receive groundwater through the intermittent perforations of the second and third panels and to facilitate groundwater flow to a point of ejection from the system.
