The saltpeter is one of the problems that can affect the masonry and coatings of a house. This problem results from accumulation of soluble salts on the surface of the walls which are transported by the ascending moisture to move to the outside.
When saltpeter appears on the walls of a house is one of the most difficult diseases to solve. The saltpeter usually appears at the base of the walls and is characterized by a white spot and the swelling and disintegration of the coatings.
The saltpeter is the result of deposition of the dissolved salts by moisture when the water evaporates from the wall leaving the solid matter entrained in the wall surface.
Somehow being the walls permeable to moisture it can exist from the ground or other location the dissolved salts are dragged to the point where it checks saltpeter.
Generally they are salts from soil or from the sands which have been used in the construction of the building containing the saltpeter (unwashed sand or river sand) and are always the result of the displacement of the moisture to the outside of the wall.
Although the immediate effect of saltpeter may appear to be unestetic by unsightly stains on the walls, the reality is that the saltpeter can cause serious problems in the construction and significant reduction of its durability.
The effect of saltpeter walls may be visible with efflorescence "deposition of salts on the surface of the wall", but can also be invisible to Crypto efflorescence "deposition of salts on the inner walls."
Consider that these effects may be responsible for the structural deterioration, loss of decorative coatings, and changing living conditions and comfort. The most common of these effects are blistering and loss of wall coverings.
