Water & brick
Weep holes, efflorescence cleaning, and brick sealing
Brick walls are built to let water out. Weep holes at the bottom of the wall drain water that gets behind the brick. When they’re blocked, water stays in the wall.
We open blocked weep holes, clean the white salt stains called efflorescence, and seal brick with a breathable water-repellent treatment so it sheds water.

Seal
After repairs, we apply the water-repellent treatment.
Questions
Frequently asked
Should weep holes be sealed?
No. They let water out of the wall. Sealing them traps water behind the brick.
Will efflorescence come back?
It can, if water keeps getting in. That’s why we fix the source before cleaning and sealing.
