Brick Siding
|
| Brick is a durable and appealing installation used throughout the world. When installed and maintained properly it has an unlimited life span. Most modern installations use a veneer type of installation rather than solid brick. Veneer installations are a single row thick and tied to the home with metal ties. Solid brick installations found mostly on older homes are two rows thick held together with a bond course visible to the inspector. Your inspector will look carefully for proper installation, maintenance, and type of installation. Masonry |

| siding installations such as brick or stone must have weep holes to allow moisture to escape. A common mistake of unskilled craftsman or homeowners is to cover them, or leave them out of the installation. This can cause extensive hidden damage to the protected building components. |
