I drilled into my garden wall yesterday and black tar-like stuff came out. What is it?
Question:We're talking about your standard red brick wall here. All the other bricks I tried drilling into seemed fine, it was just this one brick. Anyone know what this stuff may be?
Answers:
Hi it could be a bitumen based damp proof course it is used as a damp proof membrane between layers of brick so the damp cannot penetrate any further up the wall or through the wall you can sometimes see it on older houses when the sun is shining and it heats the stuff up you can see little runs on the wall where the damp course is, hope this helps.
oil - the yanks will be invading soon

Wow i take it you've unleashed some un known stuff out of your brick and as i can see no one knows what it is!! Neither do i!!
black gold, texas tea!ol jeds a millionaire ! sorry couldnt help it. sounds like there may have been a prankster at the brick factory and placed something in the clay while making the bricks. nothing i would be concerned over. or perhaps,you went thru the brick and into the ground behind it and got into some decomposing material where some water also sat. eeeew how was the smell or was there one?
Black Gold! Texas Tea! Thar's gold in dem dar hills!
No answer. But i must say nice one CHIEF
Warn your bank manager, you have struck some Texas T and will be putting in large amounts of cash and will expect a little subservience from him and his minions in the future, Sell the exploration rights to the highest bidder, order a case of best Champagne and sit back.
