Solve Potential Paint Problems

1What’s causing white crusty deposits on the walls?

Efflorescence is the formation of crusty white salt deposits, leaching on to the surface of masonry or mortar as water passes through it.

What are the possible causes?

Efflorescence occurs when water gets into concrete and dissolves lime within the concrete matrix
As the water evaporates, lime is carried to the surface and deposited as salt
Excess moisture escaping through the walls
Insufficient curing time for new cement or mortar
Painting on incompletely dried or uncured concrete
Failing to adequately prepare the surface by removing all previous efflorescence

What is the solution?

Eliminate the source
Seal cracks with Berger Siliconized Acrylic Caulk
Remove efflorescence and loose material by wire brush or power washer
Apply Berger Alkali Sealer
Apply a premium quality topcoat like Berger Weatherproof Ultra

We recommend you use these painting systems in order of base coat, first coat, and second coat:

Base Coat
