Salt Attack

Salt attack due to 40 years of exposure to the elements. Soluble salts from ocean spray crystalize on and in voids in bricks and build up over time and then the force from expanding salt crystals cause fretting and crumbling of the masonry surface.

Rectification methods are dry vacuuming and captive head pressure washing require specialist equipment and contractors. Coastal Home & Building Inspections can inspect report and provide remedial schedules for this and other building defects.
