Cracked brickwork is generally a sign of a larger structural issue. This can be caused by foundational movement, due to an arch lintel or brick lintel being excessively loaded, poor workmanship or can occur in older buildings.
Cracked brickwork can pose a danger, and eventual failure; causing wall collapse or other structural damage.

What are the main causes of cracked brickwork?
The main cause of cracked brickwork is foundational movement:
Subsidence in the supporting foundation or slab will lead to cracks in brickwork, either as a stepped crack, a large crack along mortar beds or vertical cracks in brickwork. For causes of foundational movement, refer to underpinning and slab jacking.
Excessive or prolonged loading of masonry lintels or elements:
If a structures use is altered with additional loading, this can lead to masonry lintel failure.
Poor workmanship:
If brick-ties are not installed properly, or a brick structure is inadequately articulated for minor movements or seasonal expanding/shrinking of masonry, then cracks can form.

Very Professional
Very professional. Explained everything to me and answered all my questions. The guys were always on time and cleaned up everything when they left, and they were friendly and polite.

Professional & Clear
Professional and clear advice, all services undertaken in a planned and timely manner. At the moment all seems well - but a bit early to confirm definitively

Beyond Expectation
We were very satisfied with all aspects of their service. The outcome was beyond expectation with all wall issue greatly improved. Their knowledge and service was great. Would highly recommend Rectify.
A professional, knowledgeable, excellently organised crew who completed a complicated job underpinning our restoration of a Federation home project - I would highly recommend Rectify for any engineering subsidence issues . 10/10 Thank you
Rectify will be your best choice if your property has any cracks need to be fixed. Josh came to quote our job on this windy day. He explained anything after checking the level. Really impressed with his knowledge and honesty. I will keep monitoring the cracks on my walls and garage floor. I will definitely get this guy back if they get worse. But for now it seems OK. Thanks Josh again!!
Booked inspection and assessment with Rectify. The inspector was very very professional and gave me very detailed advices. I'm satisfied with the service.
I engaged this company to fix a problem with a slightly leaning chimney.From first discussion on phone to site Visit quote and works done I found them to be very professional and knowledgeable.The guys who completed the work fixed the problem and were experienced in what they do explaining the process as they went along.Well done.Darren/ Gippsland
Booked my job with Sam from rectify . He was very professional , attentive and very accommodating. Knowing the urgency of my job as I was selling it , he was able to attend to job asap. Highly recommend Sam and rectify . Great work
The team turned up on time and carried out the work efficiently. Although my cracked render didn't close up totally, I'm happy in the knowledge that the ground is underpinned. When I get the cracks repaired, they are unlikely to crack again. Thanks again, guys.
Rectify were very professional to deal with and completed the job on time and on budget.All the employees I dealt with were also very friendly and easy to get on with.For the first time in years, my front door frame is rectangular and I can open and close my front windows.
I cannot recommend this company enough, they were absolutely incredible! From my first meeting with Phil I felt assured that he knew exactly what he was talking about and he made the stressful situation we were going through so much easier. We then had Sam come out and he was fantastic and again put us at ease so it was a no drainer that we would be going with them. The team that came and completed the job were again so amazing, professional and friendly. They left the house so clean and made sure to inform me of what was happening every step of the way. Thank you to the Rectify team for an amazing experience from start to finish.
Amazing team and service! I am so happy with how everything went for my house lift!Everyone was patient with my questions, knew exactly what they were doing, kept us in the loop, and the whole experience just filled me with confidence.I spent alot of time researching companies for this type of work andI highly, highly recommend them.There are alot of cowboys out there and these guys are the definition of professional, from start to finish.Thanks again!
Rectify was really prompt with their service, did a great job explaining the details of the problem, the work involved, and the process to correct it. The resin injection process is very precise and can be targetted with great accuracy. The work itself didn't take long at all and the turn around time was great; having the work done about a week after agreeing to the quote. Highly recommend.
