Causes

Diagnosis before specification.

Every crack has a cause. Every cause has a correct repair. For insurers and loss adjusters, Nationserv leads with root cause diagnosis before specifying Helifix crack stitching, Helibeam System installation or traditional underpinning.

Specifying the wrong treatment on the wrong cause leads to failed repairs, repeat claims and policyholder complaints. Getting the diagnosis right first time is what insurers instruct Nationserv for.

Common causes we diagnose

01Subsidence and ground movement
02Heave and clay shrinkage
03Freeze and thaw cycles
04Increased structural loads
05Door and window replacement
06Drain failure
07Large vegetation added or removed
08Impact damage and vehicle strikes

Flagship Helifix specification

Helibeam System. Insurer specified.

Where masonry has cracked and failed, the Helifix Helibeam System offers a structural solution without the need for demolition or rebuilding. Stainless steel helical bars of high tensile strength are installed horizontally into bed joints, bonded with cementitious thixotropic grout.

The bars tie the masonry together and create deep masonry beams that redistribute structural loads across the building. Where needed, additional helical ties provide crack stitching, lateral and vertical restraint. The system works on brick, block and stone.
