  • Recommended remedy/stopgap fixes for spalled bricks? ‘Fill’ the faces with mortar? Leave and use some kind of paint-on waterproofer?

  • It’s the ‘waterproofing’ that’s causing the spalling in the first place; the cement-based mortar is making the moisture wick out of the brick faces.

    Get it re-pointed with lime mortar, and replace heavily damaged bricks.
