Abstract

On empêche l'eau de pénétrer à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment par un élément du mur, tel qu'une fenêtre (40), ménagé dans le mur (38) du bâtiment, en installant un dérivateur (10) directement au-dessous de l'élément du mur (40). Le dérivateur (10) comporte une face supérieure (20) inclinée vers l'extérieur du mur (58), une pluralité de canaux inclinés vers le bas (32), un cache de protection (36) au-dessus des extrémités extérieures (28) de nervures (24) de façon à former des ouvertures de drainage (34) aux extrémités des canaux. Un chemin non linéaire (84) descendant entre les ouvertures de drainage (34) et l'extérieur du dérivateur empêche l'eau de pénétrer à l'intérieur du mur par les canaux.
