RWR has done a lot of work in the San Anselmo area of Marin County, including foundation repairs, retaining walls and drainage repairs. You may see our trucks and drilling equipment on the Miracle Mile (Sir Francis Drake Blvd), working their way up into the neighborhoods like Sleepy Hollow. The hilly San Anselmo area gets a lot of rain and moisture in the winter, and long dry spells in the summer, which can cause foundations to become unstable, and retaining walls to fail. It is important to correct these problems with well designed, well engineered plans, that are properly constructed.
RWR specializes in this type of construction work in the San Anselmo area, and has great relationships with many engineers and architects working in this neighborhood. If you have a situation you’d like us to look at, please give us a call.
