What Are The Signs Of Cavity Wall Failure

Unfortunately, cavity wall tie failure is only visible once the effects of cavity wall tie corrosion cause damage to the internal and external walls.

The ‘tell-tale signs’ of cavity wall tie failure include:

• Horizontal cracking – at regular intervals in external mortar joints
• Outward bulging of the wall – joints widen causing the wall to deflect outwards, often around window frames
• The lifting of roof edges – at gables the growth of brickwork can cause a noticeable ‘pagoda’ effect
• Internal cracks – vertical cracks may be found at internal wall junctions & horizontal cracks appear at internal wall & ceiling joints
• Cracks to render coats

If you have experienced any of these issues in the Flintshire and surrounding areas then cavity wall tie failure could be to blame.
