Structural Waterproofing Training from the Property Care Association

Aug. 26, 2009 - PRLog -- The three day course is aimed at those involved in diagnosing problems with water entering buildings from below ground level and recommending design solutions.  The syllabus covers Basic Principles of Structural Waterproofing, Surveying, Reporting and Quoting, and Principles of Cementitious and Cavity Drain Systems.

Training is provided by leading experts within the field, and is ideal preparation for the Certificated Surveyors in Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) examination – an industry recognised qualification.

The course is open to both members and non-members of the Association and around a third of those trained by the PCA are not members of the Association.   Candidates can attend the full three day course, or book on to individual days if preferred.

Book online by logging onto the PCA website at www.property-care.org where there is more information about this course and the other training provided by the PCA.  Alternatively phone the PCA on 0870 121 6737.

It incorporates the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA), which has been in formation for more than 75 years.

The PCA is a member of TrustMark the scheme supported by the Government, to help property owners find reliable and trustworthy tradespeople to make home improvements.

Its contractor members are all carefully vetted before being awarded membership - and are then subject to rigorous auditing procedures once admitted to the Association.

As well as delivering a trusted repair procedure, PCA members are able to carry out specialist surveys as part of the house-buying procedure  to identify potential problems – as well as a range of other services  designed to preserve and protect homes and buildings across the UK.
