Form-A-Drain is the most innovative foundation footing system on the
market today. But it does much more than simply facilitate efficient
construction of a home’s foundation — though it does so remarkably
well. It is also a multi-function, 3-in-1 solution to the vexing
problems of basement moisture and radon infiltration.
An Evolution in Footing Construction,
Drainage, and Radon Reduction
CertainTeed designed and developed FORM-A-DRAIN, a patented
combination footing form system, foundation drainage system, and
radon reduction system for residential basement applications.
The system consists of lineal sections installed as the
foundation footing forms. Upon completion of the concrete pour, the
system stays permanently in place and performs the function of a
foundation drainage system.
It is also an effective method of reducing radon, since it is a
sub-slab perimeter system that forms a complete loop around the
foundation.
FORM-A-DRAIN is the subject of BOCA Research Report #95-37, renewed
annually.

| Form-A-Drain lineals are manufactured from PVC (polyvinyl
chloride) material using high content of recycled materials.
Available in:
• convenient 12-foot lengths
• four full dimensional sizes: 4", 6", 8" and 10"
• all sizes are 2-1/4" wide.
• each 12-foot lineal is light-weight for ease of transportation,
handling, and joining.
Accessories are available, including couplings, corners, drainage
outlets, T’s, and vertical angle pieces. Grade stakes can be left in
place; they do not have to be pulled. Spacer straps are available in
various widths to ensure proper footing width. All fittings and
accessory items are made to precise CertainTeed product
specifications. Fittings are manufactured for easy assembly without
mechanical or solvent fastening. Lineals can be cut easily with a
hand or power saw to exact lengths required.

FORM-A-DRAIN forms precise
foundation footings, with an ideally located foundation
drainage system above the bottom of the footing and below
the foundation wall. The system allows for simple adaptation
to function as an effective means for radon reduction since
it forms a complete loop around the foundation.
Eliminate the need, cost, and time
of going back to the jobsite to remove, strip, clean, and
transport forms for reuse. Join the evolution in advanced
footing construction; never go back to obsolete
methods.
