No surprises, straight answers
It can, which is why we don't do it. High pressure cuts soft mortar out of the joints on older brick. We soft wash at low pressure so the wall comes clean and the joints stay solid.
Off Lake Murray, the damp never really lets up, and the lake-facing and north sides stay shaded and wet. That feeds algae in the brick pores. Killing it at the root makes it come back slower.
That white bloom is efflorescence, a mineral salt coming out of the brick itself. A soft wash won't erase it. We fade what we can and tell you up front what may not fully lift.
We soak your beds and grass first, keep an eye on the runoff, and rinse everything down when we're done. Your plants and your pets come through fine.
Not with a soft wash. Low pressure means the water stays on the face of the brick instead of being driven into the joints, so nothing gets pushed behind the wall.
We look the wall over first. If a joint is already failing, we point it out before we start, and we're licensed and insured, so you're covered.

Questions, answered
We do. We service Chapin and wash a lot of the older brick homes near old downtown, plus the newer ones out by the lake. If you're in or around Chapin, we've got you.
On the damp, lake-facing sides around here the green creeps back, so most folks have us out about every about every year-and-a-half to two years. We can take a look and tell you what your wall really needs.
That's efflorescence, a mineral coming out of the brick, and a soft wash won't fully erase it. We fade what we can and tell you up front what may not lift all the way.
High pressure cuts the soft mortar out of your joints, especially on older brick. A soft wash gets it just as clean without putting your wall at risk.
No. We soak your beds and grass before we start, watch the runoff, and rinse everything when we're done, so your landscaping comes through fine.
It comes back slower. The soft wash kills the algae at the root instead of just rinsing the top, but the moisture off Lake Murray keeps feeding it, so a regular wash keeps the wall ahead of it.
Real reviews from around Chapin
Brick Cleaning in Chapin, the Capital of Lake Murray
The most common mistake we see on a Chapin brick home is somebody pointing a pressure washer at it. High pressure looks like it works for a minute. What it really does is chew the soft old mortar right out of the joints. On the older brick homes near old downtown, that mortar is the weak point, and once it's gone the wall starts taking on water. The green and black you see in the brick is algae and mildew living down in the pores. It needs a soft wash, low pressure, and a cleaner that does the work for you. We soak it, let it dwell, and rinse it gentle, so the brick comes clean and the joints stay put. That is the whole difference between a clean wall and an expensive repair.
Chapin calls itself the Capital of Lake Murray, sitting on the lake’s north shore in the Dutch Fork part of Lexington County. The town is built around the water: lakefront homes with docks and boathouses, lake-area subdivisions like White Rock, Lake Point, Ballentine Landing, and Milmont Shores, and newer family neighborhoods such as Green Valley Estates and Spring Hill that have filled in fast as Chapin has grown. The constant moisture coming off Lake Murray, along with heavy pine pollen and shade, keeps algae and mildew coming back on the lake-facing and north sides of these homes, and lakefront living means a lot of decks, pool decks, and boat-adjacent concrete to keep up. Crooked Creek Park is the town rec hub, and Dreher Island State Park reaches out into the lake. Homes range from newer vinyl in the growing subdivisions to older places near the original Chapin downtown.
From Green Valley Estates, Dutchman Shores, and Ballentine Landing, Chapin homeowners count on us for brick cleaning done right.
While we're at your Chapin place, we can knock out your house washing, roof cleaning, and window cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.

Our process, step by step
Same careful order every time, so your wall comes clean and your mortar stays solid.
We walk the wall and check the joints. On older Chapin brick we note any weak or failing mortar, and we point out efflorescence before we touch it.
We soak your beds, grass, and any plants along the wall, then keep an eye on them the whole time so nothing gets stressed.
We lay the cleaner on at low pressure and let it dwell. It breaks down the algae and mildew in the pores so the wand never has to.
We rinse the wall down soft, top to bottom, and flush the beds and pavement so everything's left clean and settled.
