Abstract: The present invention relates to novel oblong, preferably bilobular, sump containers or reservoir housings for containing sump pump stands and two or more sump pumps, which containers are more narrow, side-to-side, than conventional circular, frustroconical larger volume sump containers, and only slightly longer or wider lengthwise than such conventional standard-size containers, to provide a substantially larger interior integrated oblong cross-sectional floor area for the containment of two or more sump pumps without interference with each other. The present housings preferably have a top oblong reinforcing rim and a reinforcing bridge connecting the reinforcing rim across the width of said container. The present sump pump reservoir housings also have a two-piece oblong or bilobular cross-section cover which is attachable to the reinforcing rim to enclose the housing and which includes ports for the extension of pump discharge conduits from pumps within the housing through the cover to a discharge area.

Abstract: A novel simplified system for protecting a crawlspace against the entry of sub-soil water vapor and external ground water from the crawlspace walls and floor and for completely isolating the crawlspace from water vapor from the ground. The present system comprises applying over the floor of the crawlspace, generally a dirt floor but sometimes a poured concrete floor, a continuous durable embossed plastic drainage panel, and extending the drainage panel vertically-upwardly to cover and seal the interior peripheral foundation walls enclosing the crawlspace to an elevation at least slightly greater than the elevation of the ground in contact with the exterior surfaces of the peripheral walls and preferably to the tops of the peripheral walls. This encapsulates the dirt surface of the entire crawlspace against the penetration of external ground water or floor water and also sub-soil water and water vapor and provides a water drainage space beneath the drainage panel for the escape of water and vapor therefrom.

Abstract: A drain panel assembly for the control of water leaking through a basement wall and/or entering a basement through the interface of a basement wall and a supporting footing. The assembly comprises a plastic drain panel having an upper panel section which extends vertically up from a lower skirt section. The upper panel section is positioned adjacent the basement wall and is closely-spaced therefrom by spacer means which are integral with the rear surface of the upper panel section to admit water running down the basement wall into the lower skirt section. The lower skirt section extends outwardly from the upper panel section and downwardly into contact with the supporting footing section to form a longitudinal water conduit which extends along the length of the footing and is open to the wall/footing interface to receive water therefrom.

Abstract: Air vent covers for attachment to crawlspace walls, over or into air vent openings, to enclose the air vent openings and seal them against the entry of air and humidity from the atmosphere into the crawlspace.
