To fix this properly you'd have to remove some brick and that's not going to be easy. Probably the first way to approach this is trying to get water away from that area. Gutters, grading, cleaning up overgrown landscaping, etc. If you can get the water away you may just solve the problem.

I've never dealt with a similar situation but my gutt reaction is not good. I guess it depends on whether your "steel frame home" is structural by itself or will it rely on sheathing? If it needs sheathing for shear strength then I'm not sure Densglass is appropriate. Again..this is just my gutt feeling and I think you need to reach out to the local building official and possible Densglass.

Dealing with masonry and stone is certainly different than traditional siding. If you have any specific questions please don't hesitate to ask. @ Baba – You’re quite welcome!

It gives me some idea of what we'll need to do when adding stone to the outside of an addition to the Stone House project. Thanks for this post.
