The beauty of Albany lies in its combination of houses on hills, quaint residential blocks and its location next to the Bay but it is also the same that predisposes it to drainage issues. The yards, crawl spaces, and foundations may be flooded during the rainy months with the runoff of higher elevation areas and inefficient soil absorption. Low quality grading may result in water stagnating around your house, causing molds, soil erosion and permanent stress on your foundations.
Expert drainage solutions in Albany, CA, are offered by our drainage specialists and are designed to cope with such challenges. It could be an old system, it could be a damp basement, it could be wet lawns but we design permanent structures that combine utility with appearance. New systems, upgrades and repairs There are no new systems like ours to ensure that the water flows effectively and your property is secured on all levels.

Fixing it yourself always looks inviting, however, drainage is not as simple as the homeowners might think. Misplaced pipe, omitting of filter fabric, or incorrect judgment of slope can cause water to stagnate rather than be cleared – a minor problem that can become a big problem.
The team that we employ fails to accomplish these errors, and they rectify them through professional design and precise installations. We study the topography of your property, choose hardwearing materials and make sure that the system works exactly as it should in real life and not just on paper.
We utilize our experience in the field of engineering with the current design to provide drainage systems that work silently and effectively. All the methods are specific to your place of residence, height, and the pattern of water flow.
And we also make sure that the slopes of the terrain are properly adjusted in such a way that the water would drain away rather than accumulate around your house.
French drains and underlayment piping intercept groundwater before getting to areas that are at risk.
We tie in roof run-off to safe discharge areas avoiding congestion of the foundation during the storm.

The life cycle of a drainage system is not very long unless it is taken care of regularly and occasionally revamped. This is because our maintenance and upgrade services ensure that your system performs optimally- even several years after the installation.
Regular check-ups help in keeping your drainage operational all season after season without the occurrence of unforeseen breakdowns and overflows.
The good of a drainage system is determined by the materials behind it. Most of the failures are as a result of inexpensive parts that fail, block or wear out as time goes by.
That is why we only have high-quality materials such as reinforced piping, industrial grade filter cloths and commercial grade basins. All the parts are selected to resist the heavy winter rains and clay-filled soil conditions in Albany – decades of dependability.
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
