What are cavity wall ties, and why should I take care of them?
If your home was built or rebuilt in the last century, then it's likely to have cavity wall ties. These are designed to improve the structural integrity of the walls. However, when they fail, they can cause cracking and bulging, which can be a major headache for any homeowner, landlord or business.
Llanelli Damp Proofing & Cavity Wall Extraction can restore your property's safety with cavity wall tie replacements, removing all damaged components to make room for new, heavy durability ties designed to last for years to come. We won't bore you with details of the exact process, but for more information, contact us.
The signs of a cavity wall tie failure
Visible cracks: watch out for horizontal cracks within the bricks or mortar.
Damp: additional moisture and wet spots in and outside of the property.
Broken window ledges and frames: you may also notice bulging around these areas.
Movement: the most serious sign of a wall tie failure is collapsing of the brickwork when pressure is applied.
