With minimal care, brick buildings can live for centuries. I ndeed, brick wall-cavities have just one common vulnerability - trapped moisture. Small amounts of water occur, quite naturally, behind the brickwork. But unless that moisture is expelled - quickly and reliably - it can lead to wall-damage or mold-growth. The challenge is to find and install the most effective moisture-control system. Ordinarily, this means ordering multiple components, waiting for deliveries, and masons making multiple installation passes. The job slows down and labor costs skyrocket. 5 ft.
