1. A system for removing groundwater from an interior space of a building structure, the system comprising:
(a) a longitudinally extending vertical panel disposed adjacent an interior surface of a foundation wall, the longitudinally extending vertical panel further comprising longitudinally extending upper and lower edges;
(b) a longitudinally extending upper horizontal panel with opposed first and second longitudinally extending edges, the first edge of the longitudinally extending upper horizontal panel flexibly secured to the lower edge of the longitudinally extending vertical panel;
(c) a longitudinally extending perforated triangular channel with first, second and third longitudinally extending edges, the triangular channel flexibly secured to the second edge of the longitudinally extending upper horizontal panel; and
(d) a longitudinally extending lower horizontal panel with a first longitudinally extending edge, the lower horizontal panel disposed beneath the longitudinally extending upper horizontal panel, the third edge of the perforated triangular channel flexibly secured to the first edge of the longitudinally extending lower horizontal panel and the lower horizontal panel is disposed atop a foundation footing; wherein
migrating groundwater enters the perforations of the perforated triangular channel disposed below the surface of a floor of the interior space of the building and is conveyed to a point of ejection.
