Description:
Hydro-Channel is an interior basement floor drainage system for new construction and
retrofitting. It’s unique design gives added strength to the channel and creates a thermal
brake between the footing and the floor. It allows the floor to expand and contract freely
which reduces cracks in floors. Used in conjunction with a 4” rock subgrade level with the
top of the footing it will eliminate any probability of hydrostatic pressure occurring under
the floor.

Features:
Added strength to the channel to prevent collapsing and warping along the wall. Cup
shaped indentions will allow floor to rest on footing and allow water to move across the
footing freely. Transparent for visual inspection to ensure system isn’t clogged before
pour.
Corners:
Corners are cut on the job at a 45 degree angle on the channel to allow
a continuous channel for water to flow.
Overlap the system:
Overlap and secure 2 bubbles between pieces.
