Efflorescence Removal
We remove white salt deposits and crusting from brick, block, stone, and concrete using mechanical cleaning and controlled washing. Before treatment, we identify the staining pattern and moisture source so the residue is less likely to return. If salts are embedded in the surface, we may repeat the cleaning until it is fully removed.
Masonry Cleaning and Sealing
We clean masonry surfaces to remove dirt, mortar haze, and loose deposits before sealing. We can apply sealers designed for masonry to help prevent water from carrying salts back to the surface. We also inspect for peeling coatings or failing patch repairs before applying the sealer.
Efflorescence Repair
We repair the areas that keep producing salt by repointing failing mortar joints, sealing small cracks, and replacing weak or delaminated patch areas. We remove loose material down to a sound base so repairs bond properly.
Foundation Waterproofing
We address foundation water entry that drives efflorescence, including bulk water at the footing, blocked weeps, and failing exterior drainage paths. We seal openings and correct surface grading transitions so water can move away from the wall.
Concrete Surface Treatment
We treat concrete surfaces with the appropriate cleaning and conditioning steps for the site so coatings or sealers can bond properly. We repair spalled or damaged areas and re-profile the surface where needed.
