 CRDEssay: Brick industry also has moisture trouble
In a recent article in Brick News by Brian Trimble, the Brick Industry Association's director of technical services, Trimble reported that he has conducted two seminars titled "Drainage Walls that Work," in which he stressed the need for "through-the-wall flashing" in brick homes.
A Milwaukee brick distributor invited Trimble to conduct the seminar because he had become alarmed by the number of calls he was receiving about water penetration in brick homes.
This has mandated the need for "through-the-wall flashing at the proper locations." Some builders at his seminars said that a general decline in the quality of brick, not lack of window flashing, is the reason they're witnessing more water penetration in their homes.
