Pressure Washing Brick Restores and Protects Your Surfaces

Texas Stone Sealers restores brick surfaces with expert pressure washing services that remove years of built-up dirt, stains, and mildew while preparing the material for long-lasting protection. Brick is one of the most timeless building materials, known for its strength and beauty, but it’s also porous. Over time, tiny holes and surface gaps allow moisture, grime, and algae to settle deep within the structure.

If left untreated, these contaminants can cause discoloration, weaken mortar joints, and even lead to costly structural damage. Our proven pressure washing brick process not only cleans brick but also seals it with premium TSSPro sealant products, ensuring your investment stays beautiful, strong, and protected for years.

Key Points on Pressure Washing Brick

• Professional cleaning removes dirt, stains, algae, and mildew from brick.
• Specialized equipment ensures deep cleaning without damaging the surface.
• Sealing with TSSPro products adds long-term water, stain, and weather protection.
• Prevents moisture intrusion, staining, and freeze-thaw damage.
• Enhances curb appeal and extends the life of brickwork.

Why Brick Needs Professional Cleaning

Brick is a durable and low-maintenance material, but it is far from maintenance-free. Environmental exposure gradually causes surface staining, mildew growth, and deterioration of mortar joints. In humid climates, green and black algae can spread quickly, especially in shaded areas. In drier climates, dust and airborne pollutants can cling to rough surfaces and create a dull, aged look.

While brick’s strength is one of its best features, its porous structure is its biggest vulnerability. Water can seep into brick and mortar, freeze in cold weather, and expand, leading to cracking or spalling over time. Dirt, mold, and pollutants trapped inside the pores can slowly break down the material from within.

Professional pressure washing is the safest and most effective way to restore brick without damaging it. The right combination of water pressure, nozzle type, and cleaning solution can remove even the toughest buildup while keeping the surface intact.

The Texas Stone Sealers Cleaning Process

Our brick cleaning process is both thorough and gentle. We begin with a detailed inspection to assess the surface condition, spotting any cracks, loose mortar, or other structural concerns that may require special attention. We then use commercial-grade pressure washers set to the correct PSI for brick surfaces, along with specialized cleaning solutions when needed, to loosen and lift deep-set grime.

For heavily soiled brick, we adjust our techniques to target problem areas without etching the surface or damaging mortar joints. By controlling the water pressure and using the right spray patterns, we can clean deeply while preserving the integrity of the brick.

Once the brick is fully cleaned, we allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step, sealing.

The Texas Stone Sealers Advantage: Cleaning AND Sealing

Most companies stop after pressure washing brick. At Texas Stone Sealers, cleaning is only half the job. To truly protect brick for the long term, we follow our cleaning service with professional sealing using TSSPro products.

Brick is a porous surface, meaning it will quickly reabsorb water and contaminants if left unsealed. Applying a high-quality penetrating sealer immediately after cleaning locks out moisture, resists staining, and prevents mildew from taking hold again.

For brick, we typically recommend:

• TSSPro200 – A solvent-based penetrating sealer designed for porous materials like brick and concrete. It provides deep, invisible protection without changing the natural look of the surface.
• TSSPro230 – Similar to TSSPro200 but with a wet-look enhancement and a matte finish. Ideal for customers who want both protection and a subtle color boost.
• TSSPro550 – A premium penetrating sealer with enhanced stain protection, perfect for high-traffic brick areas or decorative brickwork.

Because these products are solvent-based, they penetrate deeper and last longer—often 7 to 8 years before reapplication is needed. They also allow the brick to breathe naturally, avoiding moisture entrapment.

Benefits of Sealing After Pressure Washing Brick

1. Moisture Protection – Stops rainwater from seeping in and causing freeze-thaw damage.
2. Stain Resistance – Guards against oil, rust, and other staining agents.
3. Mold and Mildew Prevention – Reduces regrowth of black or green mold.
4. Preservation of Color and Texture – Keeps brick looking natural and fresh.
5. Long-Term Cost Savings – Extends the lifespan of the brick, delaying costly repairs or replacements.

FAQs About Pressure Washing and Sealing Brick

1. How often should I have my brick pressure washed?
   Every 2–3 years is typical, but frequency depends on exposure, climate, and the presence of mold or algae.
2. Can I pressure wash brick myself?
   While possible, incorrect settings can damage the surface. Professional equipment and expertise ensure thorough cleaning without harm when pressure washing brick.
3. Why seal after cleaning?
   Cleaning opens the pores of the brick. Sealing right afterward fills those pores with protective material instead of leaving them open to water and dirt.
4. Will sealing change how my brick looks?
   We offer both natural-look and enhanced-look options. TSSPro200 leaves the brick unchanged, while TSSPro230 adds a subtle wet-look matte finish.
5. How long does a TSSPro sealer last on brick?
   Most solvent-based TSSPro sealers last 7–8 years before reapplication is needed.
