Wall Systems Repair / Replacement

Pinchin offers cost-effective investigation, design of repair and contract administration services for all wall cladding, window and sealant systems.

• Is moisture penetration a problem in your building’s walls, joints or flashing?
• Are windows and doors leaking air or water?
• Do you see signs of brick or concrete walls/foundations cracking, staining or deteriorating?
• Is there excessive condensation on exterior or interior walls and windows?
• Is mould appearing on walls or carpets?
• Is the sealant on your wall cladding system discoloured or deteriorating?
• Has your window curtain/wall been examined recently for structural soundness and maintenance concerns?

Your facility’s wall system is one of its most important defenses against moisture penetration, heat/AC loss and structural problems. And even a small moisture penetration issue can eventually lead to a larger and more costly condensation, mould or “Sick Building” issue, putting the health and safety of building occupants at risk. At the same time, being proactive on repairing and maintaining your wall system now can save thousands of dollars later—as well as equally costly disruption to occupants.

We can perform a thorough inspection of your building’s exterior façade, including a thermographic evaluation of air and heat loss and use of a moisture meter for water penetration measurement. Depending on your needs and budget, our experienced building envelope specialists, structural engineers and project managers can then provide comprehensive design of repair services, including prequalification of contractors. Pinchin also offers contract administration and inspection services to ensure the work meets your goals and budget.
