My brick wall looks slightly wavy instead of straight. Is that something to worry about?
Answer
That’s not something to brush off. A wall should be straight—once it starts looking wavy, something is definitely wrong. Could be the mortar is failing. Maybe it’s a problem with the brick ties behind the wall. If it keeps moving, sections can start pulling away or even bulging outward. The sooner it’s addressed, the more controlled the repair. Brick walls don’t “suddenly” collapse. There are usually signs something is seriously wrong. This is one of them.
