Why is the brick crumbling around the air ducts on the facade?

So far I have not found a solution to the problem: a two-story house, in which the second floor is surrounded by facing brick (walls in one brick, around the ducts in half a brick with insulation mineral wool), and a facing layer (0,5-2cm) of brick in places where air ducts cracked and gradually crumbling. Such air ducts are two.

  • Photo 1 is the duct for the gas stove.
  • Photo 2 is the air duct for the gas boiler. More "problems" in photo 2.

The gas stove and boiler are on the first floor of the house and usually the second floor is heated less than the first floor. 1.5 years ago blotted the walls with liquid glass – does not help.

Can anyone suggest – what can be done to stop it/strengthen the wall and can what inexpensive close before the coming winter. Break everything down and redo – not an option
