This was helpful! Informative, concise, gives a reason "why" that's often omitted when sharing the standards of installation, and even entertaining! Thank you for putting this video together.
This gentleman removes all doubt. ~a public service.
Fantastic! Excellent presentation too.
I was framing house as a young man in the mid 80. We were building custom homes for the rich and I remember a house being bricked next to the house we were on and the box of ties never got opened and were left there after the bricklayer,s were finished. Not 1 tie was used. This was in Ohio. No inspection on homes is a crime. Only Electric and Plumbing. It's sad. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much! i'm studying to become a home inspector and i had no idea what wall ties were.... thank you
that's worrisome
@@joebyron9 what's worrisome?
Great demo Bryan,
I need some info in what to use to tie in a new block wall to a old block wall with stucco useing 8x8x16 blocks on it.. It is a new add on to old... Thanks Bryan
Hello, I will be laying a modular brick veneer fireplace surround for my gas insert. I have a few questions. Since this will be on the interior of the home will I still need the wall gap and weep holes? Also I salvaged these bricks from a wood stove surround. I noticed the ties were inserted into the bricks core holes rather than flat across like your video. Do you have any comment on that method?
Your answer to this may be similar to Scot Caraway's question, but I'll ask for good measure. I own a 1960's ranch home- wood frame with brick veneer. Asphalt sheet type sheathing was originally used, with no type of wrap like Tyvek. The home has experienced termite damage and some of the exterior walls will need to be reframed. I have some contractors telling me it's not a problem and other's telling me they literally don't know if it can be done because there would be no way to retie the brick veneer wall into the new framing. Is there an approved standard method to retie the brick veneer into a newly framed wall from the interior (or some way tie the brick veneer to the newly framed wall from the exterior instead of the interior) so that the brick would maintain its structural security? Any advice would be extremely appreciated!!
Fantastic video about wall ties. My kiddos house has few & installed wrong both inside and outside. Builder is called a master builder and builder of the year in a premier community in Texas. Builders cut corners, don’t supervise, and the city didn’t inspect. Buyer Beware!

as an architect, I want you as a cm on all of my sites! haha
Is it necessary to use wall ties on a 6ft by 2ft brick columns
In the photo example of proper installation it looks like the ties are installed pointing up, but shouldn't they be pointing down so they are bent up? I read if they're bent down then water can run down them towards the wall
Hi, I cant seem to find this out:
I'm going to be building a shed from concrete blocks. I will only be building 3 sides of the shed since the fourth side is an existing sandstone building. the block dimensions are: 440mm long, 95mm wide and 213mm tall.
my shed will have a footprint of 5 block lengths square - so not very big...
How do I tie my shed to the existing sandstone wall?
I have the proper permission and so on and I intend to make each corner of the build into a pier for strength...
Can you give me any advice - even above what I have already asked?
The sandstone building must have walls that are at least 2 1/2 feet thick - the building is ancient... but in excellent condition.
Good video. Question about wall ties. I have a house where they are rotted out. It is wood frame with the brick veneer. Are there special replacement ties for going through the motor or brick that tap into wood? I have seen helical shaft that is used to retied brick to cinder block. Can those be used with wood frame construction? I do not want to remove bricks to add new ties if I do not have to do so. Thx
Scot
Mr. Caraway,Thank you for visiting BIA on TH-cam. There are several companies that make retrofit masonry ties. Several of our supplier members sell these, please visit this link, www.gobrick.com/Resources/Member-Directory/Supplier-Members, to view our supplier members. They are easy to install and can be used with wood frame backup systems. As mentioned though there are a variety of options that can be located with a web search. If we can be of assistance please feel free to contact us at brickinfo@bia.org.
Thank you!

What code are you referencing? IRC? IBC? ACI? or other?
Hello. Would this be the code for building a brick chimney? Our house was built in the 1950's and our chimney has pulled away from the house. Upon inspection, we were told that wall ties were not used when the chimney was built and we now need to have a new chimney constructed. i want to many sure that the mason we use installs it the correct way. Thank you.
Sorry for replying to such an old post. I understand that when chimney's pull away from a house it is typically because chimney's are insanely heavy, and therefore tend to sink if the foundation is not "extra" beefy, and the solution is to reinforce the chimney foundation. The most common way to beef up the chimney foundation is to install some type of post that goes many, or more rarely, dozens of feet under the foundation. Helical posts are one example of this. I'm curious how you ended up fixing your chimney that was pulling away from your house.
My guy look at the wall behind you lol is that a head of a brick 🧱 on the line what happen there
the shed will be 11 blocks tall so BLOCKS = (11 x 213) + (11 x 10) COMPO giving a total height of 2453mm tall aprox.
Sorry for hijacking your youtube wall with all of this...
