Repairing Spalled Concrete
What is spalling, and how is it
caused? When the surface of brick or concrete flakes or powders, it
called spalling. This is the result of moisture in the brick or
concrete. The freeze-thaw cycle stresses the brick or concrete near the
surface and causes pieces to flake off. This is rarely a structural
problem no matter how unsightly it is, but it does indicate that there
is a moisture problem which should be fixed. |
