What are the signs of wall tie failure?
- Cracked brickwork (typically horizontal, or stepped)
- Bulging brickwork
- Rust-stained walls
- Structural problems on similarly facing elevations of neighbouring buildings of similar age / building type.
What is the solution?
Installation of remedial wall ties, followed by the removal or isolation of the existing wall ties, is the quickest and most cost-effective solution to wall tie replacement. There are various remedial wall ties available, but the three most common are:
- Mechanical Expansion
- Resin / Grouted
- Helical
