Drainage construction in Sausalito often involves drainage design in order to protect basement from flooding, dry out wet crawlspaces, avoid mudslides, protect retaining wall, and stop the yard from flooding. Water under a house or home can be very damaging, causing mold, bad smells, mildew, and dry rot. Drain repair and drainage repair may involve installation of French drain or French drains, and sometimes it is necessary to install sub drains, and a catch basin and sump pump to divert water from low areas under a home. Rain water and stormwater should run off the roof through gutters and downspouts, onto concrete tile or through grates then into the French drain, through piping and find its way to appropriate storm drains.

Actual drainage job completed in Sausalito:
Here is one of many examples of a drainage construction project we completed on Spring Street, in Sausalito:
We will construct a drainage system approximately 56 feet long along the front, left and rear sides of your front parking area, (a 14 feet portion along the upslope side will be constructed behind the wood retaining wall).
The drainage system consists of a perforated pipe in a rock filled trench to collect sub-surface water. At the upper end or start the perforated pipe, a clean-out will be provided so the pipe can be tested or cleaned as necessary.
The minimum depth for the perforated pipe will be below the right front corner of the parking area and the perforated pipe will fall at least 1/8 inch per foot for the total length of the system to the point of discharge.
The perforated pipe will be installed on top of a bed of gravel, two inches deep, with the perforations pointed down. The trench will then be then backfilled with drain rock. The rock we recommend is Class I, Permeable Type A drain rock per the California State Specifications. The drain rock is clean gravel that varies in size from 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
The trench will be a minimum of 12 inches wide. This permits a four inch blanket of rock on each side of the four inch perforated pipe.
The system will discharge to the street below the right front corner of the parking area.
No asphalt repair is included.
