El Cerrito is located on the boundary of the Berkeley Hills and the San Francisco Bay, offering the impressive scenery of the area, the picturesque neighborhoods, and the high slope a gorgeous combination, which also makes the drainage control a tricky task. When the rain falls heavily the water is bound to run downhill, bringing the soil, debris and moisture to foundations and crawl spaces.
Our group offers drainage services in El Cerrito, CA that combine the current engineering and environmental sensitivity. Our systems are made in such a way that they do not only do effective water control but also adds to the sustainability concern that the city has. Since we can install French drains, green water channels, slope stabilization and soil protection, all the systems that we install are designed to ensure that your property stays dry, stable and environmentally friendly even many years after.

The inadequate drainage does not only cause damage to your property, but this also has an impact on your health. Constant dampness under a house or walls on exterior surfaces is the ideal condition of a cushion that allows mould and mildew to grow within a short time span through the air.
We get rid of the surplus of moisture that supports the growth of molds by fixing the water flow and drainage of your home. Problem areas that our systems are designed to address are at the edges of the foundations, crawl spaces and garden perimeter – ensuring that your indoor air is clean and your home structurally sound.
A community such as El Cerrito is in a hilly side, thus, it does not simply need trenching. We are integrating innovation, accuracy and sustainability in our systems to suit the local terrain peculiarities.
When it is a rainy day, we can use drainage designs which allow rain water to be collected as a resource and not waste.
Through the application of environmentally friendly materials, we enable the natural uptake as we avoid stagnant water.
Our underground systems are constructed in a quiet manner so as not to interfere with your landscaping.

Even the most sophisticated system requires some care on a regular basis to work optimally. El Cerrito homes are maintained by our programs that ensure that the houses remain secure during all storm seasons.
System Assessments:
We check on sediment deposition, slope erosion and clogged outlets that limit flow.
Seasonal Cleanouts:
Clearance of rubbish before winter rains guarantee capacity during rainy seasons.
Drainage Optimization:
We hone slopes, demonstrate the outdated elements, and support weak ones to achieve the best use of water.
This proactive maintenance makes your system sustainable, efficient and prepared to work at the time you need it the most.
El Cerrito residents are proud of keeping the natural beauty of the surrounding and drainage systems should fit the same. The solutions are sustainable and do not increase water wastage but ensure land is not affected by erosion and pollution.
Our products are environmentally friendly like permeable drain lines, rain gardens and eco-filter basins. The systems are able to trap and redirect the rainwater effectively and replenish the soil instead of saturating it. The result? A house that is not damaging to the environment.
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.
