Mortar Dust Falls from Brick Wall

Hi there. Today I found there are some dust from brick wall (the line next to concrete floor). And I found mortar between the bricks gets less. I believe the dust is fall from the mortar.
Do I need to worry about it?
How to fix it?

Thanks

  • Does it feel damp? If you have rising damp you might need to get someone to look at it.

    • not feel wet. That only half meter long has the problem. The other part is fine.

      • You can buy a probe moisture meter or even find a place to rent a thermal camera to assist with diagnosing this yourself. Feel with hands alone is unlikely to be accurate enough.

    Just blast it away with your ozito blower and she'll be all G.

    Efflorescence - your wall is/was damp.

  • Stop scratching at it.

    • That's what my dr told me.
