Brick Veneer Damage Around Vent
In the picture above it looks like someone
installed a new foundation vent backwards.
I can tell by looking at this vent that it is for a stucco exterior and
was installed backwards.
This is only a problem cosmetically, it just doesn't look like it
should. This foundation vent is doing its job properly.
The brick veneer around it, however has loosened up and is falling off
the building.
The brick veneer was installed incorrectly, over a poorly prepared
surface and is now falling off.
In order to fix this, you will have to remove the brick veneer and
create a bondable surface somehow.
This is another case of someone building something with incorrect
building materials or poor preparation, only to find out later that most
of the brick veneer is now falling off of the building.
Situations like this are reasons why I created this website. To inform
homeowners and contractors who are interested in solutions to problems
that they could face later on down the road.
