Stud Out A Concrete Wall With French Drain

The water seeps into the french drain in one corner only.

Stud out a concrete wall with french drain.

Do i put 2 inch rigid foam on the cinder block wall it would be over the drain and then add the stud wall to meet. We plugged the original dime sized hole but obviously the water still seeps through in that general area it would be fine to leave that area unfinished. As for the inside if water get s in and runs down the wall you must have a gap between the framing and the wall to let it run into the drain tile. The lip is 2 25 inches high and 6 5 inches deep.

I would not put my bottom plate on top of the gravel of the french drain. You can bump the framing out in front of the drain but you will lose a lot of space that way. I have been looking for a solution but keep getting french drain external results. What i want to do is to put up walls.

It is not an external french drain its a french drain along the walls that drain into a sump pump. I have french drains around the perimeter of the basement with a little curb like lip in front of the walls. Preferably with metal studs and dry walls. Maybe 5 or 6 feet of wall space where you would see water seeping into the drain at times.

To clarify i want to put a stud wall along the edge of the perimeter drain. See pics do i frame the walls right on top of the lip or do i put the frames in front of it frames will essentially be 6 5 inches away from the wall in this case.
