Spraying concrete?

[ringandtip]

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience spraying concrete.

I have an old spring house with a brick foundation. In addition to most of the mortar being gone from the joints some of the bricks are deteriorated as well.

I had a thought that using some method of shooting a loose mix on there kind of like when they build a concrete pool might be an effective fix and somewhat easier than replacing most of the foundation.

Any input appreciated.

Thanks

That's called gunite and it's very expensive. If youre serious contact a pool builder and get a number for their subcontractor.

there are some simple tools that can spray concrete but they require a fair sized compressor, and would not replace structural elements.

google mortar sprayer.

It is called Shotcrete. I worked on a Fire Department that was form core with Shotcrete covering. It worked out great. Just make sure you clean all the hoses often.
