Inspector informed me the brick walls probably has no moisture barrier and would probably organize to a multitude of problems like termites, mold, etc. What should I do? Tear down the bricks to find out the problem? What's the chance that not a soul would buy a house like that? How much would it cost to fix it?
Answers: forget it and buy a different house. this one is ruined already
I know in Texas, alot of the elder houses built in the 60's had no vapor hedge. As long as there are weep holes (little initiate slots) in the bottom of the bricks, you should be fine.
If it is all brick, it would be fearfully expensive to remove and replace.
You don't have to tear out the exterior walls to see if in that is a vapor barrier. You can cut a 2 foot sqare of drywall out in one of the questionable areas. Pull the insulation through and inspect it.
