Our Process: From Investigation to Restoration
Navigating structural repairs or compliance requirements shouldn’t feel like guesswork. At Schatz Structures & Waterproofing Inc., we follow a rigorous, data-driven process designed to protect your investment and ensure the safety of your occupants.
Whether you are addressing a localized leak or managing a large-scale balcony inspection project, our four-phase approach provides clarity at every turn.
Phase 1: Investigation & Evaluation
Uncovering the "Why" Behind the Problem
We don't believe in surface-level fixes. Our team digs deep to attempt to find the root cause of structural distress. Investigations aren’t just a single test — it’s a comprehensive process involving research of documents, interviews, observations, and analysis of existing conditions.
Deliverable: A comprehensive condition assessment report detailing findings and recommended next steps.
Phase 2: Design & Engineering
Custom Design & Repair Solutions
Once the problem is identified, our engineers develop a bespoke repair plan. We prioritize longevity, cost-effectiveness, and code compliance. Our designs don’t just fix the damage; they mitigate future risk.
Goal: blueprints and specifications that ensure a level playing field for contractor bidding.
Phase 3: Permitting & Bidding
Navigating the Bureaucracy & Protecting Your Budget
The "red tape" of municipal permits and the complexity of contractor selection can be a bottleneck. We act as your advocate, managing the permit submittal process and helping you evaluate contractor bids to ensure "apples-to-apples" pricing.

Phase 4: Construction Administration
The Final Line of Quality Control
A great design only works if it is executed correctly. During construction, Schatz serves to ensure the design is implement as intended. We perform periodic site observations, review material submittals, and verify that the work matches the engineered specifications.
Outcome: A completed project, on schedule, and documented for your long-term records.
