Drainage & Waterproofing Solutions

Our Drainage & Waterproofing Services

We provide a comprehensive range of services to identify, design, and implement the ideal solution for your unique property. Every home is different, and every water issue needs a customized plan—that’s where we shine.

1. French Drains & Surface Drainage Systems

If you’re noticing standing water after a storm or soggy soil near your foundation, a French drain system or surface drainage setup could be the answer.

We install:

  • French drains to redirect groundwater
  • Trench drains along hardscapes or driveways
  • Catch basins and channel drains to manage surface runoff
  • Dry wells for deep soil absorption

Our team designs every system with flow rate, soil type, and landscape grading in mind to ensure long-term performance.

2. Sump Pump Installation & Maintenance

For homes with basements or crawl spaces, sump pumps are a powerful defense against flooding. We install new sump pumps, replace old systems, and offer backup battery-powered units for peace of mind—even in power outages.

Our sump pump services include:

  • Sump pit excavation
  • Drainage line routing
  • Battery backup installation
  • Annual maintenance plans

We serve homeowners across Alamo, Moraga, and surrounding Bay Area cities who want dry, protected lower levels year-round.

3. Foundation Waterproofing

If water is seeping into your foundation, garage, or basement walls, it’s time to act. Our foundation waterproofing solutions protect your home’s structural integrity and prevent moisture from entering where it shouldn’t.

We offer:

  • Exterior waterproofing membranes
  • Crack injection sealing
  • Drainage board installation
  • Interior moisture barrier systems

 

Our process includes a detailed inspection of your foundation and grading to pinpoint problem areas before we apply proven waterproofing materials.

4. Crawl Space Drainage & Encapsulation

A wet or musty crawl space is more than an inconvenience—it can lead to mold, rot, and even pest infestations. Our team provides complete crawl space solutions, including drainage and vapor barrier installation to keep things clean and dry.

What we do:

  • Install internal drainage systems
  • Add sump pumps for crawl space water removal
  • Encapsulate crawl spaces with heavy-duty moisture barriers
  • Improve ventilation and air quality

 

This service is especially popular with homes in Walnut Creek and Pleasanton, where crawl space moisture is a recurring issue due to soil movement and landscape drainage.

5. Gutter & Downspout Extensions

Sometimes, the source of water trouble is above ground. Improperly routed gutters and downspouts can dump water right next to your home’s foundation.

We help by:

  • Reconfiguring gutter downspouts
  • Installing downspout extensions or underground piping
  • Adding splash blocks or drainage basins
  • Evaluating roof water flow and catchment

 

These small changes can make a big difference in keeping your home dry and protected—especially in hillside neighborhoods like Orinda or San Ramon.
