FAQs about structural repair
Can you repair structural damage?
It depends on the severity of your damage.
Your property might require structural repairs for a number of reasons. It might be due to the age of your home or perhaps environmental changes such as subsidence or water damage.
For any structural repair, you'll need to get in touch with professionals who specialise in house structure repairs. They can assess the extent and the cause of the damage and offer solutions and treatments for a number of problems.
What is included in structural repair?
Whether you are buying your first home or have noticed signs of damp, ground movement or cracking in your existing home, it's important to act fast.
Structural foundation repair can help with different types of damage to your property including:
Wall crack repair
If you notice cracks or damage to your walls, you need to act as quickly as possible. It is possible that damage is caused by issues such as settlement, wet and dry rot or even impact damage.
Nowadays, wall repair can usually be carried out without rebuilding the structure of the wall. Experts might use a system of lateral restraint or crack stitching to repair the faults.
Crack stitching
Crack stitching is a popular structural repair and an excellent way to fix cracks in your walls before more damage occurs. It's quicker and cheaper than rebuilding the affected section of the wall and offers great resilience.
Specialised bars grouted into the bed joint allow the cracked brick walls to be stitched together. Not only will this strengthen the structure, but crack stitching will also provide an effective solution against further cracking.
Lintel repair
Lintels are used above openings in walls, doors and windows to support the weight above. If you notice any cracks above or below these openings, it might mean it's time to repair a weakened lintel.
Repairs using lintel reinforcement prevent the potential collapse of external masonry. It also provides resistance and strengthening against further cracking.
What causes cracks in brick walls?
Settlement: The ground beneath your property may shift over time, causing the foundation to settle. This settling exerts pressure on the walls, leading to cracks
Thermal expansion and contraction: Fluctuations in temperature, especially during freezing and thawing cycles, cause bricks to expand and contract, leading to cracks
Moisture damage: Water infiltration due to leaky pipes, faulty gutters, or inadequate waterproofing weakens the structural integrity of the bricks, resulting in cracks
Poor construction or design: Inadequate structural support or improper mortar mix during construction can contribute to cracks in the brickwork
What are the signs of structural damage that need repair?
Cracks or bulging on walls and ceiling
Cracks in chimney
Uneven gaps around windows and doors
Sagging, sloping or cracked floors
Roof leaks
Damp subfloor
Crumbling concrete or brick
