• 24.10 EFFLORESCENCE IN
BRICK WALLS
• Efflorescence is the deposit
of a white substance on a
masonry wall. This substance
consists of water-soluble
salts, present in masonry
units, in the mortar, or both,
which migrate to the outside
of the units as the water
evaporates, Figure 24.30 .
Efflorescence does not
generally create any
structural or sanitation
problem, but it is unsightly.
