Abstract
A backed paneling unit providing a drainage pathway for liquids that might be behind the backing portion of the paneling unit. The paneling unit facilitates the drainage of liquid from behind the panel by providing grooves that are typically connected so as to allow the drainage to occur from behind a series of adjacent installed panels. Additional grooves are provided to provide alternative drainage pathways for a liquid in the event that at least a portion of a groove is obstructed.
