Hi All

My house was built in 1912 and I've been noticing that the brick is starting to get chalky and is spalling a little where it isn't protected from the sun. Is there anything I can use the seal the brick, but still allow it to breath?

Visit your local masonry supply house. There are so many products available at very different per gal prices. It constantly changes in tech every year. The Big box stores doesn't really have what you need especially for an old brick home.
