A method for keeping humidity/water away from a concrete foundation wall and provide insulation, the concrete foundation wall having a soil-facing surface, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of devices comprising a rectangular main body having flat surfaces forming a cavity therein, the main body being configured so as to be stackable horizontally and vertically, and having opposed upper and lower surfaces each comprising a plurality of drainage openings therethrough;
- and
- positioning the plurality of devices in contact with the soil-facing surface of the concrete foundation wall such that the lower surfaces of the devices face downward.
A device for keeping humidity/water away from a concrete foundation and provide insulation, the concrete foundation having a soil-facing surface, said device comprising:
- a rectangular main body having flat surfaces forming a cavity therein, the main body being configured so as to be stackable horizontally and vertically, and having opposed upper and lower surfaces each comprising a plurality of drainage openings therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of particles, the particles being located within the cavity and having a diameter larger than the openings' diameter;
- wherein positioning a plurality of the devices adjacent the soil-facing surface of the concrete foundation keeps humidity/water away therefrom and provide insulation.
