This Highland Park estate featured beautiful clay brick exterior walls that had become heavily stained with decades of dirt, algae growth, and mineral deposits. The homeowner had tried consumer-grade cleaners without success. RCC Masonry performed a professional hot-water pressure washing using contractor-grade detergents specifically formulated for clay brick — strong enough to remove deep staining without damaging the brick face or mortar joints. We pre-wet all surfaces, applied the cleaning solution with low-pressure spray, allowed proper dwell time, and rinsed with controlled high-pressure water. After the brick dried for 48 hours, we applied two coats of penetrating siloxane sealer to protect against future moisture absorption and staining. The transformation was dramatic — the homeowner said their house looked brand new.
