Help: Bulge In Wall... Urgent Please.

[aCuriousLearner]

oh so its not a worry if its bit bulge then? a relief.

I got a feeling if it's a cavity wall the wall ties have rusted through, to cure the problem you drill through the outer wall into the inner and fit special wall ties which are glued in place with poxy resin.

There are various sorts if you google.

I think its a solid wall as the house were built in 1910. Any similar options for solid walls?

I have my doubts on a solid wall, they usually have a row of headers every five courses or so and I can't see them on the photo.

If you open a window and measure a solid wall is 8" plus any rendering or plaster on the inside, so no more than 10" whereas a cavity wall is minimum 10" before you add plaster into the equation.

I think there is a header brick.

Can the similar tie in can be done for solid walls?

You could be right, it resembles a Flemish Garden Wall bond as apposed to an English Garden Wall bond which is normal.

Its a Victorian terrace. It will be solid walls one brick thick.

None of the bonds you mention are normal, and these properties will be built of different bonds in different areas

BTW, Flemish garden wall bond is one header to three stretchers on every course, not one course of flemish every three courses

Thats why I said it "RESEMBLES"

One brick thick? do you mean 4" or 8"

 

[^woody^]

I mean one brick thick, which is 9"

No! Wall ties are for connecting the two walls together for strength, they're not used on solid walls, the only other advice I can think of involves a Catapiller D8.

The bond is known as Flemish Stretcher bond, or American with Flemish in the States.

You need to watch The Chase more and become a mine of useless info.
