SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BASEMENT LEAKAGE AND HUMIDITY
First Claim
1. A system for controlling water leakage and excess humidity in a basement, including:
- a. a water leakage vacuum apparatus that includes a water vacuuming apparatus to collect a water leakage through a basement wall,b. an air dehumidifying apparatus, andc. a perimeter channel system having a plurality of flow channels, disposed along the perimeter of the basement wall, the perimeter channel system including a water channel for conducting the water leakage away from a basement wall to the water vacuuming apparatus, a humid air channel for communicating humid air from the air space proximate to the outer wall of the basement to a dehumidifying apparatus, and a dehumidified air channel for communicating the dehumidified air discharged from the dehumidifying apparatus to the air space proximate to the outer wall of the basement.

Abstract
A system for controlling water leakage and excess humidity in a basement, including a water leakage vacuum apparatus that includes a water vacuuming apparatus to collect a water leakage through a basement wall, an air dehumidifying apparatus, and a perimeter channel system having a plurality of flow channels, disposed along the perimeter of the basement wall. The perimeter channel system includes a water channel for conducting the water leakage away from a basement wall to the water vacuuming apparatus, a humid air channel for communicating humid air from the air space proximate to the outer wall of the basement to a dehumidifying apparatus, and a dehumidified air channel for communicating the dehumidified air discharged from the dehumidifying apparatus to the air space proximate to the outer wall of the basement.
