Oakland has as many varieties of landscape as of architecture–from the tree-lined streets of Rockridge eastward to the hillside houses of the lake-view, and so many landscape problems as varieties of buildings. Combined with steep slopes in Montclair, hard clay in East Oakland and runoff in downtown areas, one heavy rain can reveal the flaws in the way a property manages water. In the absence of the right systems that moisture is able to enter crawl spaces, foundation is weakened, and pests as well as molds flourish.
At our team, we offer drainage systems at Oakland, CA that are long-term and with minimal appearances. We are the experts in full water management – picking up the runoff, regulating the stream and diverting it out of your house. Each of the systems will be designed to suit the diverse terrain and weather of the city of Oakland so that your foundation will be dry, and your landscape will not be lost during any storm season.

The climate of Oakland can be said to be mild, though its microclimates have a wide range. Those houses located close to the bay are affected by groundwater problems and those located on hillsides are affected by fast-flowing runoff. Drainage fitting all cannot work in this case.
We prepare your own water diversion systems, depending on your property. It may be a set of French drains, channel systems, or regrading, but our designs are designed to accommodate heavy rain, keeping your house, yard and hardscapes dry through it all.
The water challenges affect each of the Oakland neighborhoods differently. Innovation in our current drainage technology is a combination of efficiency, technology, and craftsmanship to ensure that they are resolved forever.
The gutters, surface drains, and sump systems are all linked into a single coordinating flow network.
Before the groundwater finds its way into the structural areas, our underground installations handle the water.
When we have the opportunity, we engage the help of environmentally friendly materials and runoff recycling techniques that are in line with the sustainability objectives of Oakland.

An effective drainage system has a lifespan of decades – however, it is through regular maintenance that the system will continue to work at optimal levels. The different terrain and weather patterns in Oakland have been incorporated in our maintenance programs.
The high moisture content encourages the pests particularly the termites that chew on damp wood and breed in moist crawl spaces. Lack of proper drainage will provide them with an ideal environment in which they can multiply without detection.
The standing water and damp soil that attracts pests to your home are removed by our systems. Our proper regulation of air circulation and dryness under your building makes it unfriendly to the termites, rodents, and insects in your home as we ensure that your home is healthier and pest-free.
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.
