San Leandro lies on the coast with coastal breezes, warm winters – and water management challenges to be plenty. There are a lot of local houses that are built on level lots with thick soil that is not easily drained. Following some heavy storms, it is usual to find puddles in lawns, wet flowerbeds or water seeping towards foundations. With time, such surplus water may weaken soil, corrode landscape and destroy a structure of a home down to the ground.
The drainage engineers design and install drainage systems in San Leandro, CA, which are specifically designed to match the soil and the elevation of the city. In changing yards to French drains, catch basins or sump systems, we ensure that the water is moved safely out of your premises. We are a combination of engineering carefulness and long-term viability – we keep your house, landscaping and foundation safe in all seasons.

The assessment of water flow is what makes you efficient in the flow of water. When a yard is properly sloped, rainfall will automatically find healthy outlets of discharge rather than collect around your foundation. Regrettably, most of the older houses in San Leandro had very little grading so the runoff was allowed to accumulate where it was not intended.
We re-sod new lawns in order to get smooth efficient slopes to channel water out of your residence. This is a modest but a fundamental measure which does not only help in averting flooding but also preserves lawns, patios and driveways against water-related damage.
Most house owners are unaware of the fact that they have a drainage problem until they witness the symptoms. Some of the tells that your yard might need some work are as follows:
Puddles will stay on the lawn most hours after it has rained.
You can see bare roots or swept away mulch after a storm.
Signs of water infiltration at the basement walls.
There are always spots that are wet and dry spots.

Enhancing drainage may involve several systems that are combined to work together. Our professionals can suggest:
These features coupled with appropriate grading give the assurance of full protection of the property and lessens the chances of future water intrusion.
You do not require any special equipment to test the slope of your yard, as all you have to do is to observe with a keen eye and make a little observation after it has rained. When the water persistently drains in the direction of your house, or when the ground in your foundation is loose or moist, then the slope should be fixed.
Precision leveling equipment is used to ascertain grade accuracy and also to make sure water flows off structures in the same direction. When the improved slope is completed, the slope prevents moisture build-up not only but also contributes to the look and well-being of your outdoor area.
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.
