I am laying a new floor for my sister who has a 1 1/2" gap french drain
around 3/4 of the basement.
It is the open kind where they have drilled holes in the cinder block and
did not cover the french drain
gap. I am laying Allure flooring down and was wondering if there is
anything that I can do to dress up
the edges so that the gap and the holes dont show but are still
functional. Obviously I cannot do
molding to cover the edges of the Allure unless I somehow frame the gap
and holes but leave space
for the walls to weep. Anyone have any ideas????

Some sort of built-up baseboad could cover the width of the gap, but
how high up on the walls are the drilled holes? A photo would be nice.

this type of french drain wasnt meant for a finished space.....

call the original contractor a plastic wall weep system can be
installed into the french drain, so all wall water runs into the
drain, the outer edge can then be sealed.....

dont attempt to finish the space untill the wall is sealed, or high
humidity can cause mold behind your new wall

and your probably better going with ceramic tile or other floor
material that moisture cant damage
