Lexington―Retrofit Brick Ties
If the brick walls of your Lexington property are bulging or bowing, your masonry may have water damage. Historically, sections of masonry walls that were water damaged needed to be completely demolished and replaced. Today, United Structural Systems has the tools necessary to restore water-damaged brick walls without the need to tear them down and rebuild. To accomplish this, our brick wall repair experts in Lexington use retrofit brick ties as a reinforcement technique.
Our team of experts has been saving brick walls since 1995. Our family-owned and operated company is proud to serve the Lexington community for all of its wall and foundation repair needs.
What Are Brick Ties?
Brick ties originated in the mid-1800s and were designed to stabilize the brick walls of buildings after a flood. Modern retrofit brick ties are used for a variety of masonry renovations. The installation process is quick and easy for our Lexington brick wall repair experts. First, we will remove any mortar squeezings. Then, we install the brick ties into the interior areas of the wall. The masonry wall is secured to a stud frame with screws anchored into holes predrilled into the bricks. Finally, those holes are filled with epoxy and mortar. This process provides stability to the brick wall, eliminating future bulging or bowing.
Additionally, the retrofit brick ties used by our Lexington brick wall repair team work to keep the brick veneer from falling off of a building. To do this, our crews use retrofit brick ties along with existing structural elements to stabilize the damaged masonry.
