    i think there use to be a special treatment for outside bricks. initially, its to prevent the bricks from absorbing rain water into them much. its a clear treatment that u jst paint onto the bricks.

    this may solve the problem in the long run maybe?

    I dont think that would resolve his problem. That stuff you can buy from B&Q some sort of weather seal. I have used it on my house early this year its stop rain from penetrating old bricks that with age tend to be absorbent.
