406 Pressure Clean
Brick Pressure Washing in Montana
Restore the natural beauty of brick on your home, chimney, retaining wall, or commercial building. We safely remove mold, efflorescence, stains, and years of grime from all brick surfaces.
Why Brick Needs Special Cleaning Care
Brick is porous and requires careful pressure and technique to clean without damaging the mortar joints or the brick face. Too much pressure can erode mortar and etch the brick surface. Too little pressure leaves biological growth behind. Our technicians are trained specifically in brick cleaning and use the correct combination of pressure, technique, and cleaning solutions for your brick type.
Efflorescence Removal
Efflorescence — the white chalky deposits that appear on brick and masonry — is caused by water moving through the brick and depositing mineral salts on the surface. It is extremely common on Montana brick homes and retaining walls due to freeze-thaw cycles. We treat efflorescence with specialized masonry cleaners that dissolve the mineral deposits before pressure washing.
Brick Surfaces We Clean
We clean brick home exteriors, chimneys and fireplaces, retaining walls, garden walls, brick driveways and walkways, commercial brick buildings, and historic brick structures. For historic or older brick, we always use lower pressure and gentler cleaning solutions to protect the integrity of the masonry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pressure washing damage brick?
Improper pressure washing can damage brick and mortar. We use the correct pressure settings and techniques for brick specifically — much lower than concrete — to clean thoroughly without causing damage.
Will cleaning remove the white streaks on my brick?
Yes. White streaks on brick are typically efflorescence or calcium deposits. We treat these with specialized masonry cleaners before pressure washing for the best results.
Should I seal my brick after cleaning?
Brick sealing is optional but recommended for Montana climate. A breathable masonry sealer reduces water infiltration and helps prevent future efflorescence and freeze-thaw damage.
