Abstract:
A device and method for keeping water away from a main concrete slab sitting on a concrete footing of a building include a joint covering an intersection of the external side surface of the foundation wall and the top surface of the footing. The joint can include a plurality of wedge blocks positioned adjacent the intersection providing an inclined surface for the water to flow away from the intersection, and typically one water resistant membrane ensuring the impermeability of the joint. Alternatively, the device and method include at least one through hole extending through the footing, and sloping downwardly from the internal side surface to the external side surface, and below the top surface of the footing, to drain water away from the area under the slab. A drain pipe may also be inserted into the hole.

Claim (Index 32):
The device of  claim 23 , further including an external water resistant membrane adhering to and covering the free surface and a second portion of the external side surface adjacent and above the first portion thereof.
