All glossary terms

What is Spalling?

Visible brick deterioration where the outer face has flaked, popped, or crumbled. Caused by water absorption and freezing inside the brick. In DFW, our freeze-thaw cycles + humid summers accelerate spalling. Waterproofing slows it; rebuilding affected sections is the only real fix.
