Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus for deflecting liquid from a foundation wall of a structure. The apparatus comprises a flashing of non-ferrous metal that is fastened to the foundation below the grade level of the soil.
The method comprises exposing the foundation while below grade, installing the flashing around the perimeter of the structure's foundation and then back-filling soil against the foundation thereby covering the flashing. During heavy rains or floods, water seeping into the soil surrounding the structure is deflected away from the foundation by the flashing. This prevents water from pooling at the bottom of the foundation and seeping up into the structure through the joint where the foundation meets the basement floor.

Description
1 "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEFLECTING LIQUID
2 FROM A FOUNDATION WALL"
3 Inventor: Jamis Myles Moule The present invention is concerned with a method and apparatus for deflecting 6 liquid from a foundation wall. Specifically, the present invention is concerned with a 7 flashing fastened to a foundation wall that deflects liquids from the wall and a method 8 for installing the flashing.
Any structure having a basement or a floor located below ground level, such 11 as a residential dwelling, has the potential of having liquids or groundwater seep up 12 through the joint between the foundation wall and the basement floor should the 13 ground water level rise above the elevation of the basement floor.
14 Typically, the cause of the rise of ground water level is due to excessive rains saturating the soil surrounding the foundation. Aggravating factors such as having 16 soil graded towards the foundation, as opposed to being graded away, guide water 17 towards the foundation. If the water is not directed away from the foundation, it will 18 often migrate down the foundation wall and then seep up through the joint between 19 the foundation wall and basement floor thereby introducing water into the basement.
This is not desirable as water will often spoil or damage any material sitting or laying 21 on the basement floor.
22 It is known to install weeping tile around the foundation perimeter which 23 serves to collect excessive groundwater and direct it towards a storm sewer system.
24 While the cost of installing weeping tile is not great when the structure is first being 1 {EA211884.DOC;1 ~
1 built and prior to any landscaping being done around the structure, the cost of 2 installing weeping tile around a structure after being built and landscaped can be 3 excessive. Installing weeping tile in these circumstances requires the ground around 4 the foundation wall to be trenched down to the bottom of the wall in order to properly S prepare the soil for the weeping tile installation. The cost is further increased by the 6 repair and restoration of the landscaping surrounding the structure required after the 7 weeping tile has been installed.
8 It is, therefore, desirable to have a method and apparatus for deflecting liquid 9 from a foundation wall that is nearly as effective as, but less expensive than, installing weeping tile.
12 The present invention is concerned with a method and apparatus for deflecting 13 liquid, such as water, from a foundation wall such as concrete basement walls.
14 The apparatus consists of a flashing made of a non-ferrous material, preferably aluminum. The flashing comprises of a vertical mounting flange for fastening to the 16 foundation wall and a deflector attached to the mounting flange at an angle between 17 90° and 180°. The flashing is, preferably, made from a single rectangular sheet of 18 aluminum, typically 0.025" to 0.100" in thickness, by bending the sheet along a fold 19 line that is parallel to one edge of the sheet. Bending the sheet in this fashion forms the mounting flange on one side of the fold line and the deflector on the other side of 21 the fold line and the deflector on the other side of the fold line. The angle formed 22 between the mounting flange and the deflector is, preferably, in the range of 100° to 23 135°. The height of the mounting flange is, preferably, in the range of 1 to 3" inches 24 while the deflector is preferably, 6" to 24" in length from the fold line.
2 {E4211884.DOC;1 }
1 The method of the present invention comprises exposing the foundation wall 2 below the grade level by digging or trenching the soil away from the foundation wall 3 to a depth of approximately 6" to 24" below grade.
4 Once the foundation wall has been exposed around the perimeter of the structure, lengths of the flashing are fastened to the foundation wall in a continuous 6 manner around the perimeter. Each Length of flashing is positioned on the foundation 7 wall such that it is substantially horizontal or level and then fastened to the foundation 8 wall using suitable concrete fasteners. Preferably, the lengths of flashing are fastened 9 using powder-actuated fasteners that are well known to those skilled in the art.
Each subsequent length of flashing is similarly positioned and attached to the 11 foundation wall adjacent to the previously installed length until flashing has been 12 installed along the entire perimeter of the structure. The flashing may come in 13 varying lengths although 10-foot lengths are convenient to handle and provide 14 adequate coverage around a structure with a minimal number of joints.
Preferably, each length of flashing is positioned such that it overlaps with the previously installed 16 length of flashing. An overlap of 12" to 24" is preferable. For additional 17 effectiveness, a pliable sealant, such as silicone caulking, roofing tar or other suitable 18 material, may be applied to the mounting flange prior to being fastened to the 19 foundation wall to ensure a water-proof seal between the mounting flange and the foundation wall.
21 Once the flashing has been installed, the trench around the structure is then 22 back-filled with soil thereby covering the installed foundation flashing.
The back-23 filled soil is then, preferably, graded away from the foundation such that surface water 24 will flow away from the structure.

1 Water saturating the soil surrounding the structure foundation, either due to 2 heavy rains or flooding, seeps down through the soil along the foundation wall until it 3 meets the flashing where it is deflected away from the wall to prevent it from pooling 4 near the bottom of the wall and seeping through the joint between the wall and the basement floor.
6 Broadly stated, one aspect of the present invention is a foundation flashing for 7 deflecting liquid from a foundation wall of a structure, comprising a substantially 8 vertical mounting flange adapted for being fastened to said foundation wall, said 9 mounting flange having a lower edge; and a planar deflector having an upper edge operatively attached to the lower edge of said mounting flange whereby the angle 11 formed between said mounting flange and deflector is in the range of 90° to 180°.
12 Broadly stated, another aspect of the present invention is a method for 13 deflecting liquid from a foundation wall of a structure, the method comprising the 14 steps of exposing at least a portion of the perimeter of said foundation wall that is 1 S below ground level thereby creating a trench of a depth that is suitable for installing a 16 foundation flashing; fastening a length of foundation flashing along the exposed 17 portion of said foundation wall; and back-filling the exposed portion of said 18 foundation wall with soil thereby covering said installed foundation flashing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
6 Referring to Figure 1, the apparatus of the present invention is shown.
7 Flashing 10 comprises mounting flange 12 attached to deflector 14 along fold line 13.
8 Flashing 10 is, preferably, made from a rectangular sheet of a non-ferrous material.
9 Flashing 10 may be made of aluminum. Flashing 10 may also be made of other suitable material such as non-ferrous metals, fiberglass, PVC plastic or other 11 composite materials that are impervious to water as are known to those skilled in the 12 art. Preferably, flashing 10 is made from a sheet of aluminum 0.025" to 0.100" in 13 thickness. The sheet is bent along fold line 13 which is parallel to the longitudinal 14 edges of said sheet.
Bending flashing 10 along fold line 13 forms angle 16. Angle 16 is in the I6 range of 90° to 180°. Preferably, angle I6 is in the range of 100° to 135°. Flashing 17 10 is sized such that mounting flange 12 is I" to 3" in length whereas deflector 14 is 18 6" to 24" in length.
19 Referring to Figures 2 to 4, installing flashing 10 requires digging soil away from foundation wall 18 to create trench 22. Trench 22 is, preferably, 6"
to 24"
21 in depth and sufficiently wide enough to allow the installation of flashing 10 on wall 22 18. A length of flashing 10 is positioned on wall I 8 below grade line 25 of soil 24 23 such that flashing 10 is horizontal or level. Flashing 10 is then fastened to wall 18 by 24 using fasteners 20 through mounting flange 12. To speed the installation of flashing 5 {E4211884.DOC;1 }
1 10 to wall 18, powder-actuated fasteners, such as those made by Hilti, Inc.
of Tulsa, 2 Oklahoma, U.S.A. or equivalent, are used.
3 As the surface of wall 18 can be uneven, a pliable sealant 26 may be applied to 4 mounting flange 12 prior to being fastened to wall 18 to ensure a continuous seal between flashing 10 and wall 18. Sealant 26 may be silicone-based caulking, roofing 6 tar or an equivalent sealant suitable for below-ground installation.
Additional lengths 7 of flashing 10 are then installed adjacent to the previously installed length until a 8 plurality of lengths of flashing 10 have been installed the perimeter of the structure.
Any structure having a basement or a floor located below ground level, such 11 as a residential dwelling, has the potential of having liquids or groundwater seep up 12 through the joint between the foundation wall and the basement floor should the 13 ground water level rise above the elevation of the basement floor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
6 Referring to Figure 1, the apparatus of the present invention is shown.
7 Flashing 10 comprises mounting flange 12 attached to deflector 14 along fold line 13.
8 Flashing 10 is, preferably, made from a rectangular sheet of a non-ferrous material.
9 Flashing 10 may be made of aluminum. Flashing 10 may also be made of other suitable material such as non-ferrous metals, fiberglass, PVC plastic or other 11 composite materials that are impervious to water as are known to those skilled in the 12 art. Preferably, flashing 10 is made from a sheet of aluminum 0.025" to 0.100" in 13 thickness. The sheet is bent along fold line 13 which is parallel to the longitudinal 14 edges of said sheet.
Bending flashing 10 along fold line 13 forms angle 16. Angle 16 is in the I6 range of 90° to 180°. Preferably, angle I6 is in the range of 100° to 135°. Flashing 17 10 is sized such that mounting flange 12 is I" to 3" in length whereas deflector 14 is 18 6" to 24" in length.
19 Referring to Figures 2 to 4, installing flashing 10 requires digging soil away from foundation wall 18 to create trench 22. Trench 22 is, preferably, 6"
to 24"
21 in depth and sufficiently wide enough to allow the installation of flashing 10 on wall 22 18. A length of flashing 10 is positioned on wall I 8 below grade line 25 of soil 24 23 such that flashing 10 is horizontal or level. Flashing 10 is then fastened to wall 18 by 24 using fasteners 20 through mounting flange 12. To speed the installation of flashing 5 {E4211884.DOC;1 }
1 10 to wall 18, powder-actuated fasteners, such as those made by Hilti, Inc.
of Tulsa, 2 Oklahoma, U.S.A. or equivalent, are used.
3 As the surface of wall 18 can be uneven, a pliable sealant 26 may be applied to 4 mounting flange 12 prior to being fastened to wall 18 to ensure a continuous seal between flashing 10 and wall 18. Sealant 26 may be silicone-based caulking, roofing 6 tar or an equivalent sealant suitable for below-ground installation.
Additional lengths 7 of flashing 10 are then installed adjacent to the previously installed length until a 8 plurality of lengths of flashing 10 have been installed the perimeter of the structure.
9 Once flashing 10 has been installed on wall 18, soil 24 is then back-filled into trench 22 up to grade line 25 thereby covering flashing 10 with soil 24.
11 As shown in Figure 5, when soil 24 becomes saturated with water due to 12 heavy rains or flooding, water 32 seeps down into soil 24 until it reaches deflector 14.
13 Water 32 then flows down deflector 14 away from wall 18. This prevents water 32 14 from pooling at the bottom of wall 18 where it meets with basement floor 28 and, subsequently, seeping up through joint 30 between wall 18 and floor 28.
16 Although a few preferred embodiments have been shown and 17 described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and 18 modifications might be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The 19 terms and expressions in the preceding specification have been used therein as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention in the use of such terms 21 and expressions of excluding equivalents of the features shown and described or 22 portions thereof, it being recognized that the scope of the invention is defined and 23 limited only by the claims that follow.
