What problem is caused by damaged outside wall bricks with part of brick missing

Hello Julia, When bricks are made there are voids in the brick. Over the years water gets into the voids and when it freezes the water expands and the face blows. It's quote common. Regards Michael

Hi Julia, any holes / missing brick or missing pointing can cause water ingress , which will eventually get through the inside skin , and into your property , get the bricks replaced and others checked , regards Andy
