I inspected a new home today on an 11 month warranty inspection.
The brick veneer overhung the block foundation by 1.25 inches (2.25" of brick was bearing on block). I flipped thru the IRC book and did not see a requirement.
Does anyone know what is the minimum bearing width on a block wall for a brick veneer?
Its not uncommon. ITs a veneer, and has wall ties also holding it all togheather. Not the best, but should be fine.
It’s also a good example of why you don’t bolt decks to wood framed veneers.
