Cost-Effective Repairs for Brick Walls

Do you have brick walls on your home that seem to move when you push on them? If so, you might need wall ties. Wall ties are an easy and cost-effective solution to fix brick walls that move.

Testing for Loose Bricks

So how do you know if your home needs wall ties? We like to use what we call the “Push Test”. Just walk around the exterior of your home and give each wall a good push. If you notice any movement, it’s a sign that the wall needs wall ties. No one in Oklahoma wants to see their walls tumbling over.

Trust Triton for Better Repair Solutions

The installation process is really simple! First, we’ll remove a brick that covers a stud on the exterior wall. Then, we’ll fasten the wall to the brick using the wall ties. Finally, we’ll replace the brick that was removed and match the mortar color.

Don’t let a moving brick wall cause you any more stress. Schedule your wall tie installation today.

CONCRETE OR STEEL? WHICH IS BEST?
Structural engineers prefer steel piers as a more permanent repair solution. Steel piers have less than 1% failure rate, while concrete pilings typically fail in less than 10 years.

Steel piers typically install between 12–20 feet on average in Oklahoma, while concrete pilings usually only go down 2–4 feet. That’s a big difference!

Some piering companies won’t tell you which piers they use. At Triton, we believe in transparency — we ensure our customers in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa metro areas know exactly what they’re getting.

WHY DOES SETTLEMENT HAPPEN?
If your foundation is settling, water is often the main culprit. Fluctuations in moisture throughout the year cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, leading foundations to sink and deflect over time.

If left untreated, settling can lead to unsightly cracks, difficulty opening/closing doors and windows, uneven floors, and even burst pipes. That’s why it’s crucial to address foundation problems quickly to avoid additional damage and costs.

Differential settlement occurs when one section of the foundation settles at a different rate than the rest. These issues are caused by poor soil conditions, inconsistent moisture content, poor building practices, or seasonal changes affecting the soil.

A helpful tip: remember to water your foundation during dry months and protect it from over-watering during wetter months with guttering. These good habits help maintain consistency with the soil and foundation (along with guttering and drainage).

WHY IS A CRAWL SPACE IMPORTANT?
Crawl spaces can be a great addition to your home, as they offer easy access to your air conditioning, ductwork, and plumbing, making maintenance a breeze. They can also elevate your home, helping prevent termite problems. Plus, they are typically less expensive than slab foundations.

Like any part of a home, however, they can develop issues over time. Some common problems include:

 

Moisture and humidity: If your crawl space is not adequately ventilated or in a moist area, water can seep in and cause rot in the wood floor system. This exposure can lead to mold, mildew growth and a musty odor in your home.

Inadequate support: Since crawl spaces are located directly beneath your home, they play a significant role in your home’s structural integrity. Crawl spaces rely on foundation walls and crawl space support columns to bear weight. However, an inadequate support system that is either rotting or has soil issues cannot safely hold the weight of your home.

How do you fix these issues? In many cases, installing crawl space supports is a strong solution. This quick and efficient job can provide long-lasting results, and the installation process is often completed in less than one day.
