Apparatus and methods for diverting water from a building

摘要

A water diverting shield diverts water away from the foundation of a building and protects the foundation from water damage and leakage. The water diverting shield can be formed from a rigid or flexible material, and it can be substantially impermeable to water. The water diverting shield can include first and second planar portions which form an angle or bend. The water diverting shield reduces or eliminates infiltration of water to the foundation by shielding all or a portion of the foundation wall and foundation footing. The outward bend diverts water away from the foundation wall and foundation footing.
