When will I need my wall cracks repaired structurally?

Sometimes, wall cracks you see in your home are cosmetic blemishes. At other times, they’re an indicator of structural problems. These kinds of wall cracks exhibit themselves in unique ways.

In most cases, structures that are moving have —

Stepped cracks

Stepped-crack-icon

Stepped cracks over 5mm indicate a large part of your home is moving due to unstable soil or brick house foundations. Stepped cracks need to be investigated as soon as possible.

Horizontal cracks

Horizontal-cracks-icon

Horizontal cracks indicate localized movement due to a foundational failure just beneath the cracked wall. Even though movement is localized, further damage can occur if horizontal cracks aren’t repaired.

Cracks above openings

Crack-above-opening-icon

If you have cracks above openings such as windows and doors, your home is experiencing movement. This movement can be caused by foundation failure, soil failure, additional loads due to extensions or even brick expansion.

Corner cracks

Corner-crack-icon

Clay bricks can expand over time. This expansion creates lateral force, driving the ends of walls into each other, causing cracks to appear in the corners of your home. This lateral force can even destabilise your walls.

Why repairing wall cracks structurally is essential for your home?

When your house subsides into the ground, most of the time the subsiding will be uneven. This means the load bearing pressure against your home’s foundations will be at different levels throughout the house. This can destabilise your home’s overall structural integrity.

Underpinning your house or stabilising the soil may help relevel and solidify the ground on which your home sits, but this is just the beginning. Structurally repairing wall cracks above ground is also essential because your walls need to be reconnected. This ensures loads are evenly distributed throughout the entire foundation. Moreover, wall crack repair not only restores structural integrity, but it also greatly improves the visual appeal of the house, allowing bricks to be repointed and walls to be plastered seamlessly. This process not only returns the original charm of the home but also importantly maintains its value.

Our wall crack repair solution

HelicalBar™ is our non-disruptive and cost-effective wall crack repair solution.

HelicalBars™ reinforce cracked walls to improve the strengthen and redistribute loads without the need to knock down walls and rebuild.

Utilising existing features in brickwork such as mortar joints, HelicalBars™ are discreetly hidden within walls (30mm) and fixed in place with a special structural grout to ensure a permanent fix. Walls are then repointed and cracks filled to ensure a seamless finish to your home.

If your home is cracking due to subsidence or brick expansion, HelicalBars™ can permanently return structural integrity.
