Brick Pressure Washing
Brick Pressure Washing
With brick exterior becoming more and more common in home building, the need to have a professional pressure washing contractor is in high demand. Brick has always been a staple of prestige. The value of a home with a brick exterior is just as strong as the brick itself. Brick is often used to accent a home’s siding or color. We build walls and use brick as pavement. Brick is a strong, durable, non-porous surface; yet it is not immune to the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Which brings about the all important question, “What is the proper method for exterior brick cleaning?”
Brick Cleaning with Low Pressure
Due to the strength of brick, many home and business owners believe it can be cleaned with high pressure. An inexperienced pressure washing contractor will use this cleaning method without knowing they are actually causing more harm. NEVER USE HIGH PRESSURE!
Using high pressure to clean brick surfaces can damage the mortar that holds the structure together. In time, this will weaken the structure. Secondly, using water alone only feeds the inhabitants and will not remove the organisms from the surface. The mold, mildew, or bacteria will return faster and stronger. The pattern will grow in streaks left behind by the use of high pressure.
The correct method to clean a brick surface is to use a bleach based detergent using low pressure. Clean Solutions uses a method similar to our ARMA approved roof cleaning method. As a result, the bleach detergent will kill 100% of all the growth on the surface. In conclusion, our final step is to rinse the brick with a low pressure. This leaves the brick with a bright shine and free of any mold, mildew, or bacteria.
