Building washing
Low-pressure washing for commercial exteriors, sized to the building rather than the driveway.
Learn moreEfflorescence is salt. Water moves through masonry, dissolves mineral salts inside it, carries them to the surface and evaporates, leaving the salt behind as a white crystalline bloom. Which is why washing it does very little — you dissolve it, it soaks back in, and it returns on the next dry spell looking exactly as it did.
Removing it properly means a masonry-safe acidic treatment that converts and lifts the salt rather than relocating it, with the surrounding surfaces protected because the same chemistry that shifts salt will etch glass and burn plantings.
Worth knowing: heavy recurring efflorescence is a symptom. Something is letting water into the masonry — flashing, a failed joint, ground contact. Cleaning it makes the wall look right; it does not stop the water.
