WHAT IS A CAVITY WALL SURVEY?
A Cavity Wall Survey is a thorough investigation to assess the condition of the wall ties and insulation within cavity walls. Cavity walls are a common construction feature where two layers of masonry are separated by an air gap, which provides insulation and helps control moisture. Over time, these wall ties—metal elements connecting the two walls—can deteriorate, leading to structural issues and potential damp problems. I inspect these ties carefully for stability to ensure there are no risks of metal fatigue or moisture damage developing within your property.
IMPORTANCE OF WALL TIE STABILITY
The condition of the wall ties in your cavity wall structure is critical for maintaining its stability. In my Wall Tie Reports, I document the strength of these ties. If the wall ties are corroded or weakened, they may fail, allowing moisture to penetrate the wall, which could lead to issues such as damp and rot. By identifying problems with the wall ties early on, I can help you avoid costly repairs and prevent long-term damage. The report I provide will clearly outline my findings and offer recommendations for any remedial work necessary to ensure your walls remain secure.
DETAILED REPORTING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
After the survey, I provide a comprehensive Cavity Wall Report that outlines the condition of your wall ties, insulation, and any signs of moisture penetration. The report includes detailed findings, such as the stability of your wall ties, potential damp sources, and the overall condition of the cavity wall structure. Based on this, I’ll offer clear recommendations for any required remedial work to prevent further damage. My goal is to provide you with a thorough understanding of your property’s condition, enabling you to make informed decisions and protect it from ongoing damp and decay issues.
