SERVICE and TECHNICIANS ASSESSMENT REPORT (STAR)
AWARD
The National Association of Waterproofing and Structural Repair Contractors (NAWSRC)
is excited to announce a new consumer-rated award program, which honors NAWSRC
members who provide exemplary products or service.
The STAR (Service and Technicians Assessment Report) Award will recognize technicians and vendors in the waterproofing and structural repair industry who receive a high overall rating on four criteria, as judged by consumers who have actually used their products and/or services. Unlike some other rating services, consumers will not pay a subscription fee to submit a rating or receive a referral.
NAWSRC Certified Specialists are recognized as members of the industry who have
demonstrated superior knowledge and dedication to the ideals of the association. They
demonstrate to their customers their commitment to the best in technical skills and
devotion to the highest ethical standards.
NAWSRC offers three certifications. Members can become a Certified Waterproofing
Specialist (CWS), an Above-Grade Waterproofing Specialist (CAWS), or a Structural
Repair Specialist (CSRS).
It is not easy be become certified. To qualify, they must have been a member of the
waterproofing industry for at least four years and their company must have been a
member of NAWSRC for at least one year. They must demonstrate high industry
standards and dedication to continuing their professional education. After qualifying, t
They are tested in various technical areas including safety and ethics. Their obligation
to the ideals of the program does not stop with achieving certification. To maintain their
certification, they must obtain 15 hours of continuing professional education every two
years.
Certification examinations are given during the Annual Convention and Mid-Year
Meeting only.
Certified Specialists are A Cut Above the Rest!
The only waterproofing professionals who are required to:
- Pass a rigorous exam
- Continue education
- Uphold ethics
(NAWSRC certifies that its members meet the Standards and Ethics criteria, but it does not certify the contractors work.)
Certified Specialists, the upper crust of waterproofing professionals since 1981.
