I’m looking for a plastic drainage system to put between the soon-to-be-poured concrete slab in a basement and the basement concrete wall. The system is designed to channel water seeping through the wall under the slab where it can be picked up by a sump. I have seen an article/ ad about this but now I cannot find any info.

NDS makes channel drain. Home Depot carries some, but check with a plumbing supply house for NDS's catalog, etc.
thank you for replying.
May I ask if this is a setup for in case there is a problem or are you anticipating this to be a regularily used/functioning system for water infiltration that is expected to seep through the walls ?
Or maybe this is an alternative to a floor drain ?
I hope you don't mind me asking.
Just curious.
this is a just in case item. I want to be able to deal with any water by putting it under the slab and into a sump.
thanks for replying
