Safely And Effectively Cleaning Brick Walls For Over 20 Years
Our brick cleaning and mortar removal services are unmatched!
There is no denying the beauty of a brick exterior to your home or business.
Popular for centuries, brick offers some of the very best aesthetic appeals thanks to the architectural features found in Tudor or Colonial-style homes. The strength and durability of a brick building are unparalleled when compared to other building structures.
However, when a brick surface has not been adequately maintained over time, it will acquire moss, dirt, and grime that makes it look old, dirty, and worn down- and not in a charming, historical way.
If your brick home or business is in need of a deep cleaning solution, Blue Wave Pressure Washing is here to help. We provide brick cleaning and mortar removal services and our experts in masonry cleaning have the proper techniques and materials to make your messy brick building look brand new.

Our team of professionals will arrive at your property equipped with all the right tools for cleaning your brick surfaces.
Mortar Removal
Removing mortar buildup should be done with the right tool and technique. It’s important to correct the type of plugging chisel and a hammer to properly clean and remove what is needed to clean without damaging or chipping the surface. Sometimes homeowners or business owners make the mistake of doing this job on their own, with the wrong tools. It’s important to have a mortar removal expert get the job done.
Brick Cleaning Has Changed
Brick siding can last up to 25 years when well maintained. In order to keep your brick house or business looking great, you can sustain its lifespan by having our Raleigh area brick cleaning company help.
We help protect the longevity of your property by thoroughly cleaning off any dust, mess, rust, grease, moss, and grime that are aging and deteriorating the masonry. The brick-and-mortar surfaces, both inside and outside, of your residential or commercial building, need the right cleaning solutions and brushes in order to remove stains and years’ worth of buildup.
While it can be tempting to take on a DIY project to clean a brick surface, it’s best not to risk potentially damaging or chipping the bricks. Brick cleaning is a job for professional contractors who have the right materials and equipment to adequately clean bricks and other masonry materials.
Acid Washing Is A Thing Of The Past
Acid washing used to be the preferred method of cleaning bricks and mortar, but as a focus has shifted to more environmentally friendly solutions, using an acid wash made of muriatic acid and water is a thing of the past.
At Blue Wave, we care about people and the environment, so while some companies or homeowners may call us requesting an “acid washing” because it’s the generically used term, we can guarantee that all the ingredients used in our cleaning solutions are made with our social responsibility in mind.
High-Pressure Washing Can Damage Mortar Joints
Cleaning brick walls is met with many challenges.
A brick surface that is scrubbed too hard can wash away the top layer of stain, revealing different colored bricks beneath it and resulting in a hodgepodge look of discolored bricks. Using a high-pressure washer on mortar joints can disintegrate them, weakening the joints and sacrificing the integrity of the structure.
Concrete, bricks, and pavers should never be cleaned at high pressure, as they can damage the material, affect its appearance, and shorten its lifespan.

Following Manufacturers Brick Cleaning Specifications
All brick types are not the same and therefore should not be cleaned in the same way or even with the exact same chemical solutions. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s brick cleaning specifications based on the type of brick surface being washed.
Here are the different types of brick categories to determine the right approach to cleaning your property:
- red and red flashed brick
- grey, tan, brown, black speckled brick
- sand finished brick
- surface coated brick
- glazed brick
- colored mortar
