Foundation Repair
Our Bay Area foundation repair operations are comprehensive. We repair, lift, and level pier and beam foundations, brick foundations, slab foundations, and garage foundations.
Retaining Walls
It is often necessary to install a retaining wall to prevent the problems of poor drainage. Our team can install solid, well-designed retaining walls to prevent landslides, mudslides, and ultimately, foundation problems.
Drainage
Proper drainage around homes is critical for stabilizing the soil and preventing damage to the foundation from excess water. We design and install french drains, correct grading, and put up retaining walls, to keep your home safe and dry.

Great experience with Ward Construction a few months ago. They did a major drainage project in our house. Top quality work and a wonderful crew that communicated very well. We would definitely recommend them.

We live in a small community with specific parking and work conditions and the crew was very mindful of that. Now that it's been a few months, with various rain storms, I'm happy to see the new drain doing its job, with runoff still coming out even a week after the rain stops (while I see none coming from other nearby properties). The crawlspace has stayed dry as a result. It's working.
In addition, you're the only company that came by and tried to assess the proper depths needed for the drains, as well as the placement (based on the slope of the back patio). That was what led me to select your group for the job.
Thank you for the expert service.
