Over time, the process of corrosion of existing mild steel cavity wall ties causes the original cavity wall ties to expand in size. This expansion has the effect of forcing apart the bricks above and below the bed joints in which the failing wall ties are laid. This produces a pattern of horizontal cracks coinciding with the brick tie positions approximately every six courses apart.
The corrosion and failure of the existing cavity wall ties or the lack of sufficient cavity wall ties used in the original construction can mean that many properties require either further replacement wall ties to be inserted or for the original cavity wall ties to be replaced.
Your free no obligation Wall Tie condition survey will be carried out by our own directly employed CSRT qualified Remedial Surveyor who will view the brick wall for any obvious signs of wall tie failure such as lateral cracking to the mortar beds and bowing walls.
Our Surveyor will then locate the existing cavity wall ties using a hand held wall tie detector to check that there are sufficient existing cavity wall ties at the correct position. He will then view and assess their condition within the wall cavity using a borescope and camera.
This allows a visual grading survey of the condition of the existing wall ties as outlined in BRE report 401, Table 2. and allows us to determine whether or not existing cavity wall ties need to be replaced.
This information along with supporting photographs showing any corrosion to the original wall ties will then be issued to you in a comprehensive Wall Tie Report.
Our inspection can also determine whether crack stitching using helical reinforcing bars may also resolve structural crack issues.
