What causes bricks to deteriorate?
This is an ad from Facebook. Someone offering a service to fix dodgy supports. The thing that got me was the actual state of the bricks. With bricks being well protected from the weather under a house I thought they would have lasted way longer than any other brick in the house.
I contacted the guy, who said it could be moisture or poor workmanship or groundwater.
I think this is amazing. Bricks should be tough enough to withstand moisture. We build bridges from them, tunnels, line river banks. Even multi story buildings are built from bricks. It's quite shocking, really, to see this.
