    Question Crumbling Bricks

    The house faces the full wrath of the southerly busters only 500 metres or so from the beach. There is some water getting through to the ceiling of the first story on the north-eastern side of the house. Whilst investigating the possible places where water was getting in, I noticed some of the bricks on the North Eastern side were crumbling. On 3 or 4 of the bricks, half of the brick (deep) has crumbled off. Is this salt damage? If so wouldn't it be worse on the southern side which faces the sea and wind? Or could it be related to the water damage as it is in the same area? The house is 35 years old, double brick and built on sand.
