A water diverting system for diverting water from a building's foundation, where the foundation has a basement footing having an interior face oriented towards an interior of the foundation, a basement wall having an interior face oriented towards the interior of the foundation, and a basement floor slab. The system includes a channel for collecting water and configured to be installed adjacent the basement footing. The channel is overlaid with a corrugated track for directing water to the channel. A vertical water guide extends perpendicularly from the track and is positioned adjacent the interior face of the basement wall. The guide includes a plurality of spaced projections for directing water trickling down along the wall to the channel.

1. A system for diverting water from a building's foundation having a basement wall with an interior face oriented towards an interior of the foundation and a basement floor slab, said system comprising: a channel for collecting water,said channel having lower and upper portions and a generally horizontally extending flange intersecting the upper portion of the channel and configured to be secured to a top face of a basement footing,wherein said lower portion is closed, such that water cannot enter through the lower portion, andwherein said upper portion has at least one opening formed therein for receipt of water through the at least one opening,said channel configured for installation below the basement floor slab and generally proximal to an interior face of the basement footing, wherein at least a portion of the channel contacts the basement wall, the top face of the basement footing, or the interior face of the basement footing;a generally horizontally extending track positioned directly below and contacting the basement floor slab for guiding water horizontally along the track and to the channel,said track positioned above the at least one opening in the upper portion of the channel and contacting the channel, such that water draining generally horizontally along the track is guided directly to the at least one opening in the upper portion of the channel and is collected within the channel through only the at least one opening without intermixing with sediment from the interior of the foundation,wherein said flange intersecting the upper portion of the channel provides for a continuous water pathway, for the water draining horizontally along the track, from the basement wall or the top face of the basement footing and to the at least one opening in the upper portion of the channel. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the track is configured to directly contact the channel to direct water into the channel. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein when the channel is proximal the basement footing, an uppermost end of the top end of the channel lies in the same generally horizontal plane as the top face of the basement footing. 4. The system of claim 1, said track having a first end and a second end and presenting a plurality of downwardly extending ridges extending horizontally between the first and second ends, such that each ridge is spaced a vertical distance above the upper portion of the channel,said track further including a plurality of upwardly extending furrows, wherein the furrows are interposed with the ridges so as to create a generally corrugated track. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the generally horizontally extending flange is integral with the upper portion of the channel. 6. A system for diverting water from a building's foundation having a basement wall with an interior face oriented towards an interior of the foundation and a basement floor slab, said system comprising: a channel for collecting water,said channel having a body presenting a closed bottom end and a top end,said body having an opening at the top end for receipt of water into the body,said body configured for installation below the basement floor slab and generally proximal to the basement wall or an interior face of a basement footing,wherein at least a portion of the channel contacts the basement wall, a top face of the basement footing, or the interior face of the basement footing; anda generally horizontally extending track having a first end and a second end and presenting a plurality of downwardly extending ridges extending horizontally between the first and second ends,said track positioned directly below and contacting the basement floor slab,at least a portion of said track positioned directly over the opening in the top end of the body of the channel and contacting the channel, such that each ridge is spaced a vertical distance above the top end of the body of the channel,wherein water draining generally horizontally through the downwardly extending ridges is guided directly to the opening at the top end of the body of the channel and is collected within the channel through only the top end of the channel without intermixing with sediment from the interior of the foundation. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the channel further includes a flange extending generally horizontally from the top end of the body of the channel,wherein the flange is configured to be secured to the top of the basement footing. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least a portion of the channel that contacts the top of the basement footing is the flange extending generally horizontally from the top end of the body of the channel. 9. The system of claim 6, wherein said channel is secured to either of the basement wall or the basement footing. 10. The system of claim 6, wherein when the channel is proximal the basement footing, an uppermost end of the top end of the channel lies in the same generally horizontal plane as the top face of the basement footing. 11. The system of claim 6, wherein the track is corrugated, such that in addition to the plurality of downwardly extending ridges, the track further presents a plurality of upwardly-extending furrows. 12. The system of claim 11, further including a generally vertically extending guide configured for installation proximate to the interior face of the basement wall for diverting water entering along the interior face of the basement wall to the channel, said guide presenting a wall generally perpendicular to the track,said wall having a plurality of intermittently spaced projections extending towards the interior face of the basement wall,wherein each projection of the guide presents a generally non-flat upper end for diverting water contacting the upper end towards the ridges of the track. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the upper end of each projection has first and second angled upper sides so as to present an inverted V-shape. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the upper end of the projection is generally arcuate.
