    Spalling Brick Repair
    Spalling is a term used to describe the weathering of a brick surface, which causes it to lose its shape. Spalling can occur on walls, chimneys, and other areas where bricks are placed.

    The most common cause of spalling is high water content in mortar joints, which erodes the brick surface. The problem can be corrected by removing the damaged brick or mortar and replacing it with new materials.

    Brick is a soft material and can be easily damaged by the elements, which include:

    • freezing and thawing
    • water from rain or snow
    • moisture from air in your home that comes in contact with the brick exterior.

    Here’s how we fix spalling bricks:

    1) Remove any loose mortar from the joint between the brick and adjacent surface. Use a wire
    brush to remove any remaining mortar that has adhered to the brick face.

    2) Clean off any dirt from both sides of the damaged area with soap and water, then rinse well with clean water. Allow drying completely before proceeding further with repairs.
