What Causes This and How We Fix It
Spalling happens when the outer surface of brick, concrete, or stone begins to flake, peel, or pop off. Homeowners search for this repair when they see the face of their masonry crumbling away, leaving a rough and exposed interior. It looks unsightly and compromises the strength of the structure.
On Long Island, freeze-thaw cycles and moisture are the main culprits. Water gets inside porous brick or concrete. When the temperature drops, that water freezes and expands, pushing the outer layer of the masonry off. Salt damage from winter de-icing also accelerates this surface decay. Poor original installation or aging materials make the problem worse.
Nelson fixes spalling by addressing both the damaged material and the source of the moisture. He carefully removes the flaking brick or crumbling concrete. Depending on the severity, he either replaces the damaged units entirely or applies a specialized masonry patch. He uses the right materials to match your existing structure and ensures proper drainage to stop future water damage.
If ignored, spalling will spread. The exposed interior of the brick or concrete absorbs even more water, leading to deeper structural failure. What starts as a surface issue can turn into a complete rebuild if left alone. Early repair saves money and protects your home.
