In the basements of buildings generally we have moisture problems. Even we have waterproofing water may enter the building. A good waterproofing system should be supported by drainage materials.
Geocomposites can intercept incoming water and drain it away from the structure towards the collector pipe.
To use a geocomposite drain is much easier and generally cheaper than conventional drainage
systems like mineral drains. Forexample you should carry a lot of gravel to the construction site or building. It is also difficult to use heavy gravel. It is also necessary to cover the drainage pipe with a nonwoven geotextile to prevent clogging.
But a composite drainage sheet with a filter bothsides and only about less than half a kilograms per square meter you can make a better drainage system. Also the inside core of the drainage sheet should be elastic and the core should have a structure to let water go easily to all directions.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Gc48zOQnYBJTbrdRWqVx8GbmLAMnEdh87Bj0XkedR6ri61d1dZ2U-HUwwbrOIKkqxCHtq1MaL5jxeWCqzZaMhhFwQ1pDz0-nQsbYfzMeo2dFHAaBVbxI2OeWF3lQhPWbhngvtRkSc14/s200/sewage+system.jpg)

A good composite drainage system:
- Keeps wet soil away from walls
- collects and removes groundwater
- Protects the waterproofing on walls
- Relieves hydrostatic pressure
Advantages of composite drains:
- Ventilates - Prevents wall sweating and fungal growth
- Light and flexible-Readily adaptable to irregular wall configurations
- Economical - No extra accessories needed (i.a. strips, special fastenings, etc.)
- Reliable and durable
