Water intrusion is more than an inconvenience for property owners and tenants. Left unchecked, it can damage structural elements and shorten the useful life of masonry buildings and facades.
To eliminate unnecessarily expensive repair costs, strategic building envelope maintenance is essential for every type of property.
From masonry restoration to building cleaning and sealant replacement, plus many more, our core services have you covered when it comes to taking care of your building’s facade.
Services
Vertical Inspection
When problems with your facade occur at higher elevations than a ladder can reach, Western is there for you with skilled operators of aerial lifts, specialty scaffolding or suspended scaffolding. Getting to the likely repair areas is often times a challenge and Western thrives in these tricky conditions
Masonry Restoration & Preservation
Masonry restoration is the phrase used for working with any form of masonry on an existing building that does not encompass building it from new construction. Restoration is tearing the masonry down and rebuilding to repointing and cleaning and sealing. Masonry structures are vulnerable to age, moisture, pollutants, building movement and deferred maintenance.
Epoxy & Urethane Grout Injection
Epoxy crack injection is an economical practice of repairing non-moving cracks in concrete walls, slabs, columns, and beams. Urethane crack injection also known as polyurethane or grout is a common way to seal and fill a leaking crack in concrete foundation walls and slabs. Either discipline provide an alternative method for repairing concrete without full removal and replacement or excavation.
Sealant & Expansion Joint Replacement
Got leaks? Exterior building sealant is the first line of defense for water intrusion on the building exterior. Neglect of this critical construction component can lead to interior and exterior deterioration of any building. Water intrusion is more than an inconvenience for property owners and tenants. Left unchecked, it can damage structural elements and shorten the useful life of buildings.
Façade Cleaning
Curb appeal is an important part of a building’s overall image. In addition to adding a strong aesthetic to your buildings exterior a routine cleaning can help you monitor existing conditions of the buildings exterior and thus will enhance your ability to budget for repairs with no surprises hidden under dirt/grime
Wall Coatings
Considering applying a coating to your façade? Coatings can be a fantastic cost saving and preventative maintenance measure, but they are only as effective as the caliber of preparation and installation. Whether it’s a planter, plaza deck, or façade, coating systems we install help preserve the useful life of your structure and reduce repair costs.
Masonry Restoration
As one of our core competencies, masonry restoration and preservation is very important to the life of a building.
Facade Restoration
Although building exteriors are made of durable and resilient materials, they are constantly being affected by the tough world in which we live.
Things like pollutants, moisture, ground movement, deferred maintenance and the natural elements all contribute to a facade’s deterioration. If these problems are ignored or are not prevented, a building’s future can be cut short.
