Refreshing House Washing In Meadowbrook, AL
When it comes to cleaning brick, a lot of people think it's a simple task by just using a pressure washer to remove algae and moss from the brick face and mortar joints, but this can be a dangerous approach. We prefer to use the soft wash methos of cleaning when performing a brick house washing. There are many factors that come into play such as the type of brick used and the age of the mortar. It's just a safer way of cleaning period with no chance of damaging the surface being cleaned. Plus, soft washing kills the organic growth down to the roots rather than just blasting it away with high pressure water that does not kill the roots. By not killing the roots, the organic growth comes back much quicker.
This home is Meadowbrook, AL had a lot of algae and moss growth that needed a relatively high algaecide mixture that needed to be applied in order to effectively kill the growth and it's root system. It's quite impressive to watch to be honest. When applied, one can actually watch the organic growth turn from green to orange to yellow and finally to white. When the organic growth has turned white, the growth and its root system has been killed and the dead organic growth can be removed using a medium-light pressure rinsing. All of the dead organics simply wash right off of the substrate surface that was just cleaned.
The owners of this home couldn't believe the difference from the time they left for work, until the time they arrived back at home!
