About Brick & Stone Surfaces

Brick and natural stone are traditional building materials valued for durability and appearance. Brick is fired clay, stone includes sandstone, limestone, granite, and slate. Both are porous to varying degrees and susceptible to staining and biological growth.

Material Properties

Natural stone durability varies widely. Sandstone is softer and more vulnerable than granite. Brick is hardwearing if well-fired. Mortar is the most vulnerable component and requires regular maintenance.

Common Problems on Brick & Stone Surfaces

Lichen Growth

Lichen appears as crusty, colored growth on exterior surfaces. While slower-growing than moss or algae, lichen causes significant property deterioration if left untreated.

Pollution & Weather Staining

Pollution deposits from traffic and industrial sources create staining on exterior surfaces. These deposits accelerate deterioration and significantly impact property appearance.

Seasonal Maintenance for Brick & Stone

Winter freeze-thaw cycles damage brick and stone. Water in pores freezes and expands, causing cracks and spalling. Fall cleaning prevents winter damage.

Maintenance Tips for Brick & Stone Surfaces

  1. Use professional soft washing only—never high pressure

  2. Inspect mortar regularly and repoint as needed

  3. Apply appropriate sealers to protect stone

  4. Prevent water concentration that accelerates growth

  5. Professional assessment identifies damage before it becomes serious

Professional soft washing costs more than standard pressure washing but prevents expensive damage. Regular maintenance is much more cost-effective than repairing damage from improper cleaning.

What's the difference between different stone types?

Sandstone is porous and soft; limestone is moderately soft; granite is hard and durable. Each requires different cleaning approaches. Professional expertise ensures appropriate care.

How do I prevent lichen damage to my brick?

Regular professional cleaning removes lichen before it penetrates. Applying appropriate sealers provides additional protection. Professional assessment identifies vulnerable areas.
