Understanding Spalling: Why Your Bricks Are Flaking
Spalling is the technical term for bricks that are peeling, cracking, or crumbling. In Charlotte and the surrounding areas like Mint Hill (28227) and Matthews (28105), this is almost always caused by the freeze-thaw cycle. Bricks are porous like sponges. When it rains, they absorb water. When the temperature drops below freezing (common in our winters), that water expands and pops the face of the brick off. If left untreated, spalling compromises the structural integrity of the entire stack, leading to expensive collapses.
Our Brick Replacement Methodology
We don't just patch over the damage. We perform surgical brick replacement:
- Matching Aesthetics: Finding a brick that matches a home built in 1990 in Huntersville or a 1920s bungalow in Greensboro is an art. We work with specialized masonry yards to match the color, texture, and size of your existing brick.
- Structural Reinforcement: If the damage is deep, we may need to rebuild sections of the chimney to ensure it meets current NC building codes.
- Waterproofing: Once the repair is done, it is critical to apply a breathable water repellent to prevent the cycle from starting again.
