Piedmont lies in between the Montclair and the hills of Oakland in the beautiful residential scenery with steep slopes and low soil absorption level. The rainy season makes the water rush rapidly in the yards, crawl space and retaining walls especially in old houses that were not constructed as per the present grading requirements.
The drainage experts at Piedmont, CA will plan and set up the tailor made water flow systems but will not alter your landscape. We may offer you a sump pump to the basement, re-grade the basement to solve the slope difficulties in the basement, or a French drain to the yard; any which you desire; we ensure that there is a surety and security of the home in the long-term.

Uneven lawns or puddles that refuse to leave are some of the problems that many Piedmont homeowners must have to contend with. These are not cosmetic symptoms only but this is a sign that the yard is not draining in the right way.
The degree of elevation, the degree of soil compaction and water movement are measured to come up with proper drainage systems. We are employing our systems to make sure that your lawn is dry, there is no erosion and that your grass grows evenly all over your premises.
There are several typical drainage issues that can be found in the geography of Piedmont and should be noted by the home owner. These include:
Water that is over moving downwards and is eroding soil.
It occurs because of the hilly topography since there is the hydrostatic pressure.
Flooded areas because of the inability to absorb water.
Crawl space moisture refers to moisture that is trapped beneath floors so as a result of high humidity.
Stagnant water as a result of blocked or missing drains.

The upgrading of your drainage system is not only a means of covering your property- it is also a value addition to your property. There are several improvements that we would recommend Piedmont homes to make and some of these are the most useful:
All these systems work together to reduce the erosion rate, soil health and the health of the foundation of your home.
The crawl spaces of the Piedmont homes tend to be on grade lines where water tends to come together. They can also hold moisture and fail to drain wood framing because they sustain mold and weaken them.
We install sumps pumps, protective liner, discharge lines and back ups in order to control the ground water. The result is a clean dry and energy saving foundation that is now guaranteed all year round.
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.
