Anything else I should check?

    My house is entirely made out of brick, I doubt it’ll be very effective here but I’ll definitely check

        This was an educational rabbit hole to go down.

        It seems not all brick houses have wall studs, but most do.

        It makes sense to me to have studs to help run utilities (electrical, air ducts, etc) and for hanging drywall.

          but most do.

          Never seen a brick house that has studs around here. Most houses around here are built like this:

          Concrete floors/ceilings, bricks in between, utilities get carved into the brickwall and are covered when the inside plaster is applied. The inside plaster is usually made up from two or three layers and is around 3cm thick.

        Studs, in the UK at least, create a gap between the brick wall and the plasterboard this is often filled with insulation and it’s where electrical cables and pipework can run.

          In newer houses yes. In older ones… Well let’s just say I’m getting tired of carving channels into solid red brick whenever I do electrics.
