title: Sheet Drains
description: Prefabricated soil sheet drain and protection board consisting of a formed polystyrene core covered on one side with a non-woven, needle-punched polypropylene filter fabric on the dimple side of the core. The fabric allows water to pass into the drain core while restricting the movement of soil particles that might clog the core.

Select a tab Description Specifications Downloads

Our sheet drain is a durable, dimpled HDPE drainage composite with a geotextile layer that protects waterproofing membranes and ensures reliable drainage around foundations, basements, and underground structures. Lightweight and easy to install, it efficiently channels water away while preventing soil clogging, making it a smart alternative to traditional gravel systems.
