The composition of bricks and laying mixtures contains a certain amount of salts dissolved in water. For this reason, the appearance of efflorescences on the brick wall of the building is a very common problem.
A salt coat on the outer surfaces of walls and ceilings appears due to the natural evaporation of salts. It can be eliminated only with the help of special tools. Ignoring the problem can lead to a deterioration in the visual characteristics of the structure and gradually destroy its walls, causing emergency situations.
In the process of carrying out construction work, it is important to properly waterproof the brick walls. They should not accumulate moisture, which, when evaporated, will cause efflorescence. Waterproofing can be carried out by treating the outer side of the walls of the building with special solutions that protect the material from rain and snow.
How to deal with high education
The solutions used in the process of bricklaying should be diluted in advance with substances that can increase the level of plasticity and replace lime. In the distant past, ordinary chicken eggs were added to solutions.
The technological process does not stand still and now it is not necessary to use fresh natural products whose effectiveness is in question. In the market of modern building materials, you can choose special tools - water repellents, made on the basis of components such as fatty and resin acids.
Stages of work
After the brickwork has been completed, it is necessary to thoroughly dry the walls and achieve complete solidification of the mortar. Only then can finishing work be carried out using a primer, putty and other materials.
Experts categorically do not recommend the construction of a brick house in winter or autumn. Excessive air humidity, frequent rains and temperature changes can cause the appearance of efflorescence on the wall. For work it is better to choose the summer season with warm and sunny weather.
In no case should you try to wash off salt stains from a brick with water. The effect of this will be achieved for a minimum period of time. Water will only dissolve the salt particles, cause its crystallization and seal inside. After that, getting rid of a salt coat will be more difficult.
