The secret to pressure washing for brick is using the right method, not the most pressure. In your area, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage. For brick, that means low-pressure wash.

How we clean it

Low-pressure washCleaning method
Usually 500-1,500 PSI with a wide fan tip, held well back from the mortarPressure

Cleaning solution: Soft wash for algae and mildew; a masonry-specific cleaner for efflorescence and mortar haze.

Cleaning brick safely

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.

Is it time for pressure washing for brick?

  • Driveway or walkways look dark, gray or streaky
  • Green or black growth in shaded areas and along edges
  • Slippery surfaces after rain
  • Oil, rust or tire marks you can't scrub out
  • You're getting ready to sell, seal or paint

Where the grime comes from

  • Dirt and pollen that settle into the pores of concrete
  • Mold, mildew and algae in damp, shaded spots
  • Oil and fluid drips from vehicles
  • Rust from sprinklers, furniture and fertilizer
  • Tire marks and general foot traffic

What you can do yourself

  • Sweep off leaves and loose debris so they don't stain
  • Blot fresh oil drips with cat litter or an absorbent right away
  • Point sprinklers away from walls and walkways to cut down on rust and hard-water stains
  • Rinse pollen off with a garden hose during heavy pollen season

What can go wrong with DIY pressure washing

  • Etched lines and 'zebra stripes' from holding a narrow tip too close
  • Water forced into window frames, door sills and siding laps
  • Damaged plants and lawns from chemical runoff
  • Injuries: a zero-degree tip can cut skin, and wet surfaces are slippery

What happens on the day

  1. Walk the property and note surfaces, stains and anything fragile
  2. Protect plants, outlets, lights and doors, and move small items
  3. Pre-treat organic growth and degrease oil spots
  4. Clean with the right pressure and a surface cleaner for even results
  5. Rinse, post-treat to slow regrowth, and walk the job with you

Do you use high pressure for pressure washing for brick?

For brick: usually 500-1,500 PSI with a wide fan tip, held well back from the mortar. What we avoid: zero-degree tips and close-range blasting that erode mortar joints, and strong acids on brick that hasn't been pre-wet. The cleaning solution does most of the work, followed by a gentle rinse.

Is pressure washing for brick safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.

How often should I schedule pressure washing for brick?

Every 2-3 years for most homes. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
