We Service Sausalito!

Sausalito’s coastal location and steep hillsides create unique foundation and structural challenges for homeowners. Homes built along the waterfront are often on soft bay fill, which is prone to settling and soil liquefaction during seismic events. Properties on steep slopes face additional risks from soil erosion and hillside movement, which can lead to foundation settling, cracks, and structural instability.

The city’s proximity to the San Andreas Fault makes seismic activity a major concern for Sausalito homeowners. Earthquakes can cause ground shaking and soil displacement, leading to significant structural damage in homes that lack proper seismic reinforcements. Seismic retrofitting—including foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and shear wall installation—is essential to protect these homes from seismic events.

Drainage is another common issue in Sausalito, especially during heavy rains when water runoff can cause erosion and hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls. Without effective drainage systems, such as French drains, sump pumps, and retaining walls, homes are at risk of water intrusion, foundation cracks, and long-term moisture damage. Proper drainage solutions help manage water flow and safeguard Sausalito homes from these risks.
