CWA provides a full range of services customized to clients’ specific needs. Our expertise includes specialized capabilities that address those messy problems that may arise without warning such as leaks, façade deterioration or accessibility design. We provide these services independently or as part of a larger design project.
Building Envelope
Moisture and mold are serious health hazards. We identify the point of entry through infrared scans or core samples and provide waterproofing solutions based on the best value. The multiple systems contained within the building envelope compound the problems that owners must address as a building ages. By evaluating thermal insulation and air barriers we can determine if energy is being wasted, and then recommend solutions to prevent further loss.
