The Benefits of Professional Efflorescence Removal
For homeowners, there's nothing quite like the pride of a beautiful brick façade or a stunning stone patio. But that beauty can be ruined by the appearance of unsightly white stains – efflorescence. While tempting to tackle this issue yourself, there are significant benefits to be gained by hiring a professional company such as PH Exterior Cleaning Services for efflorescence removal.
What is Efflorescence and Why Should You Care?
Efflorescence is a crystalline deposit that forms on porous building materials like brick, concrete, and stone. It's caused by water carrying dissolved salts to the surface, where they crystallize and leave a white, powdery residue. While not inherently harmful to the structure itself, efflorescence detracts from the curb appeal of your property and can worsen over time if left untreated. Some efflorescence can be roved easily and some, due to the cause, cannot.
