Arrow Salt Damage

The foundation and some of the bricks are damaged due to use of salt during the winter months. Any ideas as to how to repair the problem? Are there any sealants that can be used on the concrete and bricks to slow down any further damage?

Default Re: Salt Damage

Hi. John,

A little Thorite from The Manufacturers of Thoro Products can rebuild that and a coat of ThoreSeal for a finish.

A salt Guard sealer would help from future degradation from the winter salts.

Hope this helps.
