Blown Brickwork

Bricks face a number of elements that will eventually have an effect on their performance.  Factors such as wind erosion, the varying temperature and expansion and contraction cause bricks to lose their integrity and begin allowing moisture in.

When moisture has penetrated in the body of the brick this can then freeze causing the brick to deteriorate more rapidly and can even cause “shelling” of complete brick faces.  If a complete brick face is left open it will soak up vast amounts of water which will then migrate around the surrounding wall area.  Once this penetration has occurred water vapour in the home cannot escape through the walls and will be ideal conditions for black spot mould.

Visible signs of this problem are things like rebated mortar joints, powdery brick faces, blown brick faces and algae attaching itself to the wall.

Other common problems:
Painted Brick :: Pebble Dash :: Spray Coatings :: Tyrolean :: Cement Render
