Abstract: A method and apparatus for waterproofing a basement are disclosed. Cinder or concrete block foundations and poured, solid concrete foundations can be waterproofed. Holes are formed in the foundation wall. A first system has a first plurality of holes through the foundation wall and a second plurality of holes can be partially through the foundation wall. A first side of a drain board is located adjacent the cinder or concrete block foundation wall and a second side located adjacent the top section of the footer so as to cover the first plurality of holes and to cover the second plurality of holes. A bed of stone is adjacent the side section of the footer and below the top section of the footer. A conduit rests in the bed of stone on a slope. The conduit has a plurality of perforations around a top section of the conduit and no perforations in a bottom section of the conduit.
