One of the most important features of your new house
is what's buried underneath it |
FORM-A-DRAIN™ is the patented 3-in-1 foundation solution that forms footings, provides an integrated drainage system, and can be easily adapted to vent radon where needed. Designed for residential basement applications, Form-A-Drain consists of lineal sections installed as the foundation footing forms. Unlike standard wood forms, Form-A-Drain lineals stay in place permanently after completion of the concrete pour, enabling them to function as a foundation drainage system and — because they form a complete sub-slab perimeter loop around the foundation — a key element of a radon reduction system. And because it stays in place, Form-A-Drain shaves valuable time from the construction schedule; there’s no need to return the next day to remove, strip, clean and transport forms to the next jobsite.
Form-A-Drain offers you three key benefits:
• A better way to build the foundation
• A drainage system that’s integrated directly into the foundation
• Easy adaptation for radon evacuation
Although you don’t see it, the system at the very base of your home that provides drainage to your foundation plays a critical role in keeping your basement or crawlspace dry. CertainTeed Form-A-Drain is the highest quality, most innovative foundation drainage system on the market today.
