The same red brick wall clean, the white buildup gone

Brick and stone efflorescence removal in the High Desert and Inland Empire

White, chalky buildup can take away from the look of beautiful brick and stonework. REVIVE provides specialized cleaning to take off stubborn mineral deposits and bring back the natural character of your outdoor surfaces.

What efflorescence is

Brick, block, stone and mortar soak up water. As that water works its way out and dries on the surface, it leaves the salts and minerals it carried behind, and they show up as a white, powdery or crusty film.

That’s why it shows up most around pools, planters, water features and walls that get wet from sprinklers or runoff.

Brick, stone and stacked stone

We clean efflorescence and calcium off brick walls, stone, stacked stone features and planters. The before and after below is one of ours: years of buildup and discoloration taken off a stacked stone feature, bringing its natural colors back.

What efflorescence removal costs

Every job is different. Pricing depends on how much buildup there is, the size of the area and how easy it is to get to. We offer free estimates with straightforward pricing and no hidden surprises.

What is the white stuff on my brick?

Usually efflorescence: salts and minerals that water carries through the brick and mortar and leaves on the surface when it dries.

Yes. Stacked stone features are some of the work we show in our before and afters.
