Spalling

Brick faces flaking off — the visible end of a water problem that started years earlier.

What is Spalling?

Masonry surface breaking away from absorbed water freezing, or from mortar harder than the brick. It cannot be repaired back — those units get replaced. Which is why waterproofing sound masonry and keeping the crown and flashing intact is genuinely preventive spending rather than an upsell.
