"Form-A-Drain is the highest quality, most innovative foundation footing system on the market today," said Mark DaSilva, marketing manager for the CertainTeed Foundations Group . "For building professionals, Form-A-Drain provides an effective, easy-to-install forming, drainage and radon capture solution. And, for homeowners, it helps ensure a healthy indoor environment for generations to come."
The study, conducted by Readex Research, asked building professionals to rank products based on familiarity, frequency of use and overall quality. More than 10,000 builders and general contractors contributed to the survey.
Form-A-Drain is a patented three-in-one concrete footing form system and foundation drainage system andacts as the sub-slab perimeter component of a radon venting system. Manufactured from 100 percent pre- and post-consumer polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it remains in place after the concrete is poured. Once installed, Form-A-Drain collects groundwater through multiple side vents and transports it to a sump pit or a drainage pipe going to the outside. Due to its unique design, which encloses the entire perimeter of the foundation, Form-A-Drain can be adapted for use as part of a radon venting system where needed.
