Solving Leaning Walls

Fix your Leaning Walls Fast!

Keep your walls standing strong and secure with Buildfix’s non-invasive wall tie solution.

What are the symptoms of sinking piers that I should be looking out for?

Gaps Between Your Wall and Window Frames

If you have gaps between your walls and window frames, it means your walls are on the move. As your walls start to lean, the internal and external walls can detach. This detachment, combined with the lateral force it causes, opens your walls up to possible collapse.

Stepped Cracks

As the lean of the wall worsens, it may develop stepped cracks along its brick-and-mortar joins. These can be seen on either the inside or outside of a leaning wall and is a sign that its structural integrity is fading fast.

Soffit Trims Pull Apart

Soffit trims are the little wooden sticks at the top of your wall. If you notice that they have detached and separated from the wall, it’s a tell-tale sign of movement in your home. While some soffit trims come apart due to wear and tear, it’s usually still an indicator of a foundational failure directly beneath the leaning wall.

Gaps Between Walls and Cornice

Cornice gaps can indicate that your home is sinking into the ground due to unstable soil or poor foundations. This sinking causes pressure to rise upwards through the foundations of your home. In turn, that pressure then causes supporting ties to fail while forcing your walls to lean.

Why should I fix them?

Leaning walls could indicate that your home is facing structural issues.

Some leaning walls might just be cosmetic blemishes, but others can signal a more serious structural problem.
Leaving these leaning walls unattended could compromise structural integrity, resulting in expensive rebuilding of walls, and reduce your home’s value. They may even be a safety concern around your family.
