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.
