| 1. A drainage apparatus system for a building having a basement floor between walls supported on footings, the drainage apparatus
comprising:
drain tile disposed about an outer perimeter of the footings to accumulate water adjacent the outer perimeter of the footings;
at least one bleeder conduit disposed beneath the basement floor and connected at a first end to the drain tile located exteriorly
of the building and at a second end to a discharge pipe to direct water from the drain tile to the discharge pipe;
a hollow body having first and second ends and a flow passage extending between the first and second ends, the first and second
ends fluidically interposed to the at least one bleeder line in a location spaced from the drain tile beneath and covered
by the basement floor, the body having an upper portion with an openable end accessible through the basement floor, allowing
a fluid stream to be injected into the hollow body through the openable end into the flow passage; and
a one way valve disposed within the hollow body, the valve including a valve member movably mounted in the hollow body for
fluid pressure responsive movement between a first position blocking fluid flow through the fluid passage in the hollow body
in a first direction from the open end of the upper portion toward the first end of the hollow body and a second position
allowing fluid flow from the first end and from the open end of the upper portion only toward the second end of the hollow
body in a direction toward a sewer conduit to enable clean out of the bleeder line and the sewer conduit.
