Hey, does anyone here know a thing or two about plaster and how to repair it? I recently purchased a house, and I can’t seem to get a handle on these constant bubbling and peeling issues with the walls. I try to fix it, but more plaster just keeps coming off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could the humidity fluctuations inside the house be causing the issue?
I was considering that. However, it’s been 2 years and I’ve fixed it for the 3rd time. I left it open to let the air out and it still happened again
Mentioned that sometimes the degradation is so severe that the entire section needs to be removed and repaired.
Hey, , so it’s actually an exterior wall. How does that factor in? My wall is about 12 inches thick with plaster and brick.
Hey, mentioned that the issue could be caused by a variety of factors. Such as changes in weather, stormy conditions, deteriorating brick, or inadequate interior coatings. It’s a long list without knowing the exact details.
Seems to be struggling with moisture getting under the paint. I tried floating it out and applying a moisture barrier, but it still bubbles off.
The moisture barrier seems to have bubbled off.
Hey , how’s the brick exterior holding up? Any issues with degraded gutters, facia, or soffit?
I just got the roof put on by , but I’ll need to address the gutters, fascia, and soffit soon
Could the issue possibly be that they are in bad condition?
I just finished tuckpointing all the brickwork and then sealed it up
