ABSTRACT:
A remedial wall anchor system includes a reinforcing rod or wire, a tie rod, anchor components which secure the tie rod to the facade wall and the back-up wall, and a capturing device. The tie rod extends between the facade and back-up walls and is insertable through a hole extending through the facade wall. The capturing device is secured to the front end of the tie rod and includes first and second spaced-apart upstanding surfaces joined by a linking member to form a channel for capturing a portion of the reinforcing wire. The remedial anchor system can be used both mechanical and adhesive facade anchors and back-up anchors. The remedial anchor wall system is easily and economically used to reconnect an existing facade wall to a back-up wall. Initially, the user forms a horizontal groove in a mortar bedjoint of the facade wall. Then, a hole is drilled into the grooved mortar line so that the hole is connected to the groove and extends through the facade wall. The tie rod of the remedial wall anchor system is inserted into the hole so that rod extends between the facade wall and the back-up wall and is secured to the facade and back-up walls. Finally, a reinforcing rod or wire is positioned within the groove adjacent the tie rod and a portion of the reinforcing wire is captured to the tie rod to secure the reinforcing wire to the rest of the remedial wall anchor system.
