Having dealt with half a dozen similar problems over the years, I would

Is this on your own property, or being paid to do it for others?

If the outside is being painted, use a solvent based pliolite masonry
paint, which is genuinely water resistant but still gives a matt finish.

Why would you paint bricks?

As to walls breathing, lime mortar, and other mud hut technology, I'd say
that nothing stops the passage of air through mortar.

If you mean lime mortar, that's the reason for using it. If you mean
mortar in general, surely waterproof ones are available?


Okay, walls have to
breathe, but you need to stop them drinking.

Perhaps it didn't rain 100 years ago?
