DLG Engineering and Integral Preservations Systems Team up to Address the Glazing and Waterproofing Issues Affecting Residential Condominiums Along South Florida's Coast

Online, November 4, 2009 (Newswire.com) - DLGE and IPS aim to educate and inform condo associations and owners about the importance of a safe and watertight building envelope. "I believe that many of our existing condominiums are structurally unprepared for major storms and severely outdated in terms of the glazing components that make up the building envelope. We aim to raise awareness of these deficiencies by way of a door-to-door campaign in the hopes of getting these buildings in line with today's hazard threats, said De La Guardia. "A greater threat than hurricanes is the daily onslaught of airborne chloride ions provided by the Atlantic and Gulf's prevailing breezes that carry the salt onto our structures. Our significant annual rainfall teams with the salt ions to bombard the reinforcing components in our structures via water intrusion. Glazing, waterproofing and roofing are the most efficient restoration activities to engage in to control future costs", added Clark.

De La Guardia and Clark feel that by integrating their knowledge and experience they can provide un-paralleled advice to better protect and safeguard condo residences. DLGE and IPS are offering a free inspection and consultation to any South Florida condominium association that is interested in finding out its current state of preparedness.
