Why Brick Cleaning Matters
How does professional brick cleaning improve your home?
Cleaning brick is not just a cosmetic upgrade—it directly impacts the health and longevity of your masonry.
Top benefits include:
- Removes harmful buildup like mold, algae, soot, and pollutants
- Prevents moisture issues by eliminating growth that traps water
- Restores natural brick color and dramatically improves curb appeal
- Extends the life of mortar joints
- Helps prevent future deterioration
- Adds value when selling or updating your home
Over time, dirt and organic growth hold moisture against your brick, accelerating surface breakdown and leading to cracks, spalling, and mortar erosion. A proper cleaning not only makes your home or business look better—it protects your investment.

How We Clean Brick Without Causing Damage
Brick should never be treated like concrete—here’s our expert process.
Many homeowners and even some contractors make the mistake of using high-pressure power washing, which can strip away brick faces, destroy mortar, and permanently damage the structure.
Our process focuses on safe, controlled cleaning:
1. Inspection & Testing
We evaluate the condition of your brick, mortar joints, moisture levels, staining type, and surface hardness.
2. Choose the Correct Cleaning Method
Depending on your brick’s age, color, and condition, we choose from:
- Soft-wash detergents
- Masonry-safe chemical cleaners
- Biological growth removers
- Low-pressure rinse systems
3. Targeted Treatment
We treat stains individually to avoid overwashing the surface.
4. Controlled Rinsing
We use low pressure to gently rinse away debris without damaging brick faces.
5. Optional Sealing
For homeowners who want long-term protection, we offer breathable masonry sealants that reduce moisture absorption and slow future staining.
This approach provides long-lasting results while maintaining the integrity of your brick.

How Often Should Brick Be Cleaned?
In Atlanta’s climate, brick should be cleaned every 2–4 years.
Humidity, red clay soil, pollen, and heavy rainfall contribute to faster staining in Georgia. Chimneys often need cleaning more frequently due to soot buildup.
If you see dark streaks, green growth, or efflorescence, it's time for a professional cleaning.
