Proper Cast Stone Cleaning

The beauty of cast stone is obvious when you see it up close. It can be found in many places in different architectures, mainly used as a decorative flourish. But under the surface, there’s much more going on.

Proper Cast Stone Cleaning

Cast stone is not actually stone, but a masonry product that can be made from any number of materials such as cement, sands, or even crushed stone. Different color pigments can be added to change the appearance further.

Because it is not solid stone, cleaning it can be a very precarious task. If you want to effectively clean cast stone without damaging or otherwise affecting its natural look and beauty, there are a few things to keep in mind. Delicacy and patience are the keys to this cleaning process.

Cast stone is a softer building material so it is not something that is conducive to power washing. Because it is made from other materials, if you use an aggressive method to clean it, such as power washing or sandblasting, you could do irreparable damage to the elements that make it up.

A more delicate process is needed to effectively clean cast stone without separating the different elements that make it up. Your best course of action is not to clean your cast stone structures yourself. Leave it to the professionals and let 214 Pressure Washing do it for you!

The professionals at 214 Pressure Washing are experts at cleaning exterior stucco. We have extensive experience working on both commercial buildings and residential homes. Servicing the Dallas and Fort Worth area, our customers are our top priority.

Professional Exterior Stucco Cleaning

Stucco is a very porous material. The textured surface promotes the growth of dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. It is common for water and debris to settle in the cracks and create stains. Time is of the essence when it comes to removing this unsightly discoloration. If left uncleaned, the stucco will become black and start cracking. Our expert team understands that stucco is a somewhat fragile material. Making sure that exterior stucco is cleaned the right way is essential. If there is too much water pressure used, the stucco will start to peel from the structure. Cracks will begin to form, creating costly repairs.

BENEFITS OF USING 214 PRESSURE WASHING

  • We use the perfect blend of cleaning solutions and water
  • Our method is safe in treating dirty and neglected exterior stucco

VISIBLE CRACKS / CHIPS / HAIRLINE FRACTURES

We inspect the building for any visible chips, cracks, or hairline fractures. Damaged stucco must be repaired and sealed before the cleaning process begins. Washing damaged stucco can create costly problems in the future. We make sure to address all defects before cleaning begins.

DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE DISCOLORATION

We evaluate the problem area to determine the cause of the discoloration on the stucco.

  • GREEN STAINS are indicative of algae growth
  • BLACK STAINS that appear as dirt, could in fact be mildew

We will also check to see if there are any evident signs of water leakage from overhanging structures. Our professionals will make suggestions to prevent further water problems. It is our goal to create a plan that prevents damage to the existing stucco.
