Abstract
The foundation wall and floor slab drain is a device that is designed to control the buildup of mold in basements by enabling the water that drains from wall to be channeled into a French drain that is provided there under. The device is installed during construction of the footing, foundation wall, and floor slab. The device is further defined as an elongated planar member with a plurality of tubes linearly aligned thereon, and which collectively form an assembly. Both the elongated member and the plurality of tubes are bent to form a right angle. A vertical portion of the assembly is adapted to interface against a foundation wall and a side surface of a floor slab. A horizontal portion of the assembly is adapted to interface between a bottom surface of the floor slab and a top surface of a footing.
