The first step in addressing the problem is determining where the wythes are delaminating. The simplest method is to sight down the face of the wall with one eye, studying the surface for bulges.

After boring a small hole in a mortar joint, an engineer can insert the borescope and look behind the veneer bricks to examine the cavity and the condition of tie bricks or metal ties.
