This mornings inspection I came across this white stuff in a basement. I have never seen Efflorescence this bad before, but I’m assuming that is what is is. The basement had evidence of recent moisture intrusion. Am I correct?
I’d say efflorescence too, yes.
Looks like it is to me too.
Never seen that much…but I agree…
For me it is Efflorescence too, i would like to know about it.
Agreed and yes I have seen this much.
This is what is needed www.xypex.com
You are 100% correct! Please note the “watermarks” on the wall behind the “minerals/salt”!
Nick has provided you with an outstanding and easy-to-understand link to a very well documented cause of efflorescence.
