Crack Stitching Installed to a Residential Property
The Problem
ASRS Ltd were contacted by a residential customer who required a specification to restore the structural integrity of the masonry where cracking to the external and the internal walls of the property, where movement had occurred.
The Solution
Front Elevation and Rear Elevation
We produced an appropriate repair scheme specifying the installation of Helifix crack stitches as a simple, effective and permanent solution, to tie in the cracked external masonry.
Our highly skilled technicians installed single bands of Helibar stainless steel crack reinforcement, installed horizontally across the existing cracks, reconnecting the masonry, and offering substantial resistance to further cracking.
High tensile stainless steel helical bar “Helibar” combined with thixtropic grout “Helibond” produces an excellent bond within the substrate, allowing the masonry to remain flexible enough to accommodate natural building movement.
Project Completion
We finished by raking out all existing cracks and injecting in thixotropic, cementitious grout. We made good all areas of mortar disturbed by our installation. We completed the repairs on time and within budget to the client’s satisfaction.
