The present system and method enables water entering a dwelling or structure to be contained and removed, while preventing evaporation of the water into the interior of the dwelling. Embodiments of the present invention can comprise a waterproofing system comprising a waterproofing form, affixable to a first surface of a wall at a mounting angle, and comprising a vapor barrier retainer for detachably affixing a vapor barrier to the waterproofing form, and a gutter channel, disposed at a pitch angle, and in fluid communication with the first surface of the wall, the vapor barrier, and a collection area, where the pitch angle and the mounting angle are the same angle, and where the pitch angle causes the water to flow through the gutter channel to the collection area for removal.

1. A method for waterproofing comprising: creating a trench by removing a portion of a floor where the floor abuts a first surface of a wall;attaching a vapor barrier to a portion of the first surface of the wall;attaching a waterproofing form to the first surface of the wall with a fastener, the waterproofing form being attached to the wall at a mounting angle;providing a collection means for collecting water collected in the waterproofing form;inserting the vapor barrier into a vapor barrier retainer on the waterproofing form;inserting a first end of a wicking material in a wicking channel located on the waterproofing form;positioning a second end of the wicking material underneath the floor to wick water from underneath the floor into the waterproofing form; andfilling the trench to restore the portion of the floor previously removed;wherein water flows through the waterproofing form to the collection area due to the mounting angle. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein attaching the waterproofing form to the first surface of the wall with the fastener comprises: inserting a spacer between the waterproofing form and the first surface of the wall; andinserting the fastener through a portion of the waterproofing form and the spacer and into the wall. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mounting angle is between 0.5 and 15 degrees below level. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein filling the trench further comprises: filling a lower portion of the trench with a first binder that is substantially free of aggregate; andfilling the remainder of the trench with a second binder that contains aggregate. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the mounting angle is determined by the first surface of the wall. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the waterproofing form is disposed above the level of the floor. 7. A method of installing a waterproofing system, the method comprising: creating a trench in a floor proximate an area of the floor that abuts a wall;placing a waterproofing form at least partially within the trench;affixing a vapor barrier to a portion of the wall, the vapor barrier comprising a sheet of material operable to substantially prevent the flow of liquid from a first side of the sheet to a second side of the sheet;attaching the vapor barrier to a first portion of the waterproofing form by inserting at least a portion of the vapor barrier into a vapor barrier retainer of the waterproofing form and closing a flap of the vapor barrier retainer to secure the vapor barrier in place;attaching a second portion of the waterproofing form to the wall; andadding one or more binders into the trench. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein a first binder of the one or more binders is substantially aggregate free. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein a second binder of the one or more binders comprises aggregate. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein at least one of the first binder and the second binder comprise concrete. 11. The method of claim 7, further comprising forming a first binder of the one or more binders so that at least a portion of the first binder supports the waterproofing form. 12. The method of claim 7, further comprising attaching the waterproofing form to the wall at a non-level angle. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein attaching the second portion of the waterproofing form to the wall comprises: inserting a spacer between the waterproofing form and the wall; andinserting a fastener through a portion of the waterproofing form and the spacer and into the wall. 14. The method of claim 7, further comprising: placing a first end of a wicking material into a wicking channel of the waterproofing form; andplacing a second end of the wicking material under the floor;wherein the wicking material is operable to wick liquid from under the floor into the wicking channel. 15. The method of claim 7, further comprising providing a collection area for liquid that flows through the waterproofing form, the collection area located proximate a low end of the waterproofing form. 16. A method of using a waterproofing form, the method comprising: positioning the waterproofing form in a trench of a floor, the trench located proximate an area where the floor abuts a wall and the waterproofing form comprising a vapor barrier retainer having a flap and a retainer, the flap hingeably coupled to an upright portion of the waterproofing form and the retainer configured to retain the flap in a closed position;attaching a vapor barrier to the waterproofing form by inserting the vapor barrier at least partially within the vapor barrier retainer and closing the flap into the retainer such that the vapor barrier is trapped between the flap and the retainer, the vapor barrier attached to the wall and capable of substantially preventing the flow of liquid through the vapor barrier; andpouring binder into the trench to form a masonry flume around the waterproofing form. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising attaching the waterproofing form to the wall at a non-level angle so that liquid flows from a higher portion of the masonry flume to a lower portion of the masonry flume.
