Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, system, and method for diverting water away from a building's foundation using improved splash blocks. A starting splash block is positioned proximate a building's foundation and under the building's water discharge line. A running splash block is positioned end-to-end with the starting splash block. A coupling assembly couples the front end of the starting splash block to the rear end of the at least one running splash block in the end-to-end configuration. The coupling assembly and configuration of the starting and running splash blocks allows for the running splash block to pivot with respect to the immediately preceding splash block in line. Upwardly extending projections are also provided on a bottom of the splash blocks to facilitate a reduction in velocity of the water transported through the splash blocks.
