Q: Does painted brick need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing.

The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.</p></div>
