A method and apparatus for waterproofing a basement are disclosed. Cinder or concrete block foundations and poured, solid concrete foundations can be waterproofed. Holes are formed in the foundation wall. A first system has a first plurality of holes through the foundation wall and a second plurality of holes can be partially through the foundation wall. A first side of a drain board is located adjacent the cinder or concrete block foundation wall and a second side located adjacent the top section of the footer so as to cover the first plurality of holes and to cover the second plurality of holes. A bed of stone is adjacent the side section of the footer and below the top section of the footer. A conduit rests in the bed of stone on a slope. The conduit has a plurality of perforations around a top section of the conduit and no perforations in a bottom section of the conduit. Water can flow through the first plurality of holes and the second plurality of holes and be guided by the drain board, the top section of the footer and the side section of the footer into the conduit.
