If left untreated the consequence can lead to the exterior masonry of the cavity collapsing. Wall tie replacement is a fast and cost effective option available to eradicate the issue.

We ensure the ties are going to work by carrying out a pull test on each and every job we do to ensure the ties are going to do their intended job. We select the correct drill bit diameter for the masonry, i.e. dry pressed brick or extruded, and also the drilling action used, percussion or SDS. Percussion has a faster cutting action while SDS is more of a hammer action, This makes all the difference to how well the ties will perform once installed.
If your installer doesn't insist on a load test on the ties,
show them the door!!
As Helicrete is an approved Helifix installer we work closely with Helifix's own in house engineers and consult them on the correct spacing of the ties which depends on a number of factors. Furthermore we chose these ties as part of our major assignment for the Cert IV B&C to work out whether they comply with the Australian Standards. We are pleased to say they do. The ties spacing are based on the wind category, the topography, shielding etc. so we can determine the correct spacing of the ties to comply with the relevant standards. There are many pop up companies nowadays who have no clue as to how the ties comply, which ties to use and how to install them properly.
Working to Australian Standards
AS3700 Masonry Structures - This is the bare minimum. If your builder or bricklayer is not working to this standard they are breaking the law under the (BCA) Building Code of Australia.
