What is Subflorescence in Historic Masonry about?

Subflorescence is the deterioration of historic masonry caused by the crystallization of water-soluble salts, which can originate from various sources such as pollution and improper cleaning. Diagnosis involves identifying visual signs like spalling and rising damp, and laboratory tests can confirm the presence of salts. Effective removal methods include poulticing and sacrificial rendering, while prevention focuses on eliminating moisture through damp proofing and chemical injections.
