Brick Cleaning in
Gardner, KS

Brick cleaning in Gardner works on younger brick — most of the city's housing has gone up between the mid-1990s and today, with brick exteriors, chimneys, and brick accents mostly 5-to-30 years old. Younger brick is in good structural condition, with good mortar joints that haven't yet weathered to the vulnerable stage older brick reaches. The cleaning is gentler than people expect because brick itself is extremely hard, but the mortar between bricks is much softer than the brick — too much pressure blasts mortar out of the joints. The cleaning is really about cleaning around mortar without removing it. A mildew-killing cleaner handles mildew on the shaded north-facing sides, applied with proper dwell time. A specialty acidic cleaner dissolves lime efflorescence — the chalky white deposits that leach up through brick from moisture passing through the material. Low-pressure rinse afterwards lifts dead growth and dissolved buildup without damaging brick or mortar joints. The thinner tree canopy across most of Gardner means less heavy biological staining than in heavily-shaded suburbs, but the shaded sides of every brick wall still accumulate mildew over years. The visible improvement on newer Gardner brick is dramatic because the underlying material is in good condition.
