Category: Fireplace - Topic: Fireplace Mantles Can Fall Apart

Brick falling off your fireplace is not an uncommon problem. When your fireplace mantle is heated and cooled over and over again, a process called spalding occurs. Unless the brick is completely removed and reinstalled the brick will continue to fall out. When reinstalled, make sure a concrete crown is poured over an area that is waterproofed.
