Sidewalk & Walkway Cleaning for Brick is one of the jobs we do most often in Eagar, AZ. Typical jobs cost $100-$250, and you approve the price before we begin. With brick, the right approach is low-pressure wash.
Method and pressure
Cleaning solution: Soft wash for algae and mildew; a masonry-specific cleaner for efflorescence and mortar haze.
What to know about cleaning brick
Brick is tough, but the mortar joints are softer than the brick itself, and older soft-fired brick can pit. Organic growth comes off with a soft wash; mineral deposits such as efflorescence need a masonry-safe cleaner instead of more pressure.
Avoid: Zero-degree tips and close-range blasting that erode mortar joints, and strong acids on brick that hasn't been pre-wet.
How often: Every 2-3 years for most homes.

Serving Eagar, AZ and nearby towns
Concrete and pavers in Arizona collect dust, oil and tire marks, and irrigation leaves white mineral deposits along the edges. Strong sun also wears out sealers quickly, so pavers here often need resealing more often.
Some cities in Arizona limit outdoor water use, including washing hard surfaces with a hose, especially during drought declarations. Pressure washers use far less water than an open garden hose, but rules vary, so it's worth checking your city's current restrictions. Wash water should also be kept out of storm drains.
