How to remove the white stains I see on my bricks?

• <div><p>The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-efflorescence-brick.htm">remove efflorescence stains</a>, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.</p></div>

Q: What causes black stains on bricks?

• <div><p>In some cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/black-stains-brick.htm">black stains on brick</a> are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing. </p></div>

Q: Should I use mortar or concrete for a chimney crown?

• <div><p>You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.</p></div>

Q: Does brick stain peel?

• <div><p>Brick stain doesn&rsquo;t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That&rsquo;s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.</p></div>

Q: How do you get soot off chimney bricks?

• <div><p>Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.</p></div>

Pontius power washed and sealed our paver driveway, and also relayed paver stones on walkways. He was very polite, professional and productive from start to finish! We had some issues with the pavers and Stephen fixed the problem without hesitation and at no charge. Would recommend.
