Expert Foundation Drainage Installation in the East Bay Area

Water intrusion can cause serious foundation problems, leading to costly repairs. Cardona Construction specializes in foundation drainage systems designed to direct water away from your home, preventing moisture buildup and structural damage. With over 40 years of combined experience, our team installs high-performance drainage solutions that keep foundations dry and stable.

Foundation drainage systems protect homes by channeling excess water away from the foundation. These systems use solid or perforated pipes, drainage gravel, and filtration fabric to move water efficiently, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing soil erosion.


This effective solution helps prevent basement flooding, foundation cracks, and moisture-related damage.

Our Foundation Drainage Installation Process

Comprehensive Site Assessment

Each property requires a tailored drainage solution. Our team evaluates soil composition, water flow patterns, and property grading to determine the best approach. We also inspect existing drainage systems and identify potential problem areas before installation begins.

Custom Drainage System Design

Every foundation drainage system is built to address specific site conditions, factoring in:

  • Property slope and grading
  • Foundation type and depth
  • Local soil composition
  • Regional rainfall levels
  • Connection points for water redirection

Professional Installation for Reliable Performance

Installation begins with precision trench excavation, ensuring proper placement of drainage components. Our team installs durable drainage pipes, gravel layers, and filtration fabric to create an effective system that directs water away from the foundation.


Proper slope calculation and backfilling techniques allow for long-term stability without compromising landscaping.
