  • Publication number: 20090117319
    Abstract: A foundation protection system for the exterior surface of a foundation wall has a membrane of plastic material on the exterior surface of the foundation wall, the membrane having a marginal edge portion, and a support strip extending along the entire marginal edge portion of the membrane. The membrane and the securement member have interengaged projecting and recessed portions, with fasteners penetrating through the support strip and the membrane into the foundation wall and thereby securing the support strip and the membrane to the foundation wall. The support strip may have a flexible flange in sealing contact with the foundation wall upwardly beyond the marginal edge portion of the membrane along the entire length of the marginal edge portion of the membrane. A slot-shaped recess extends along the support strip for temporarily holding nails or screws during installation.

  • Patent number: 6691472
    Abstract: A foundation protector for a foundation wall prevents moisture being retained in the foundation wall and also provides drainage for surface water so that water does not rest against the surface of the foundation wall. The foundation protector has a smooth exterior surface so that it remains attached to the foundation if earth subsidence occurs. The foundation protector includes a waterproof dimpled sheet with spaced-apart protrusions and an outer waterproof membrane which covers recesses formed by the protrusions and provides a substantially smooth exterior surface.
