Building with and
restoring masonry has been done for years to enhance
buildings, outdoor spaces, parks, campuses, country clubs and
many other places.
While masonry
creates a very inviting environment, it can also have an
unsightly appearance if not cleaned and maintained. The
masonry units themselves can inherently have a little dust or
film on them from the manufacturing and storage process.
Cleaning these units properly after installation, whether
vertical or horizontal, will typically remove any dust or film
and leave the units clean and crisp!
Regardless of
whether they are clay or concrete, natural or synthetic stones
or retaining walls, it is very important to clean after
installation or after restoration to:
-
Enhance the

-
Remove job
site dirt and debris left behind by the installers
-
Remove any
imperfections caused by the manufacturing or storage
process
-
Allow the unit
to properly breathe to help prevent future water derived
staining
-
Prepare the
surface for sealing if desired
These masonry
units can also have other issues on them before installation,
such as:

with the appropriate chemicals and equipment can almost ensure
that your customer will be completely satisfied with your
service when you leave the job site.
