Efflorescence

Efflorescence is a white, crystalline powder that has an irritating tendency to show up on new brick and block masonry. It’s irritating because it’s new masonry that architects and owners look at most closely. You can brush most of it away. It disappears when wet. But efflorescence will keep coming back until you do something about the conditions that create it. Learn how you can combat efflorescence in your jobs.
