Clean brick on a home near Lake Norman, NC

Why Brick Needs a Gentle Clean

Brick looks like it could handle anything, so a lot of people hit it with high pressure. The problem is the mortar. High pressure wears away at the joints, and older mortar can crumble or wash out, which is a much bigger repair than a dirty wall.

Brick is also porous. Algae, mildew and moss settle into the surface, especially low on the wall, on the shady side of the house and around steps and chimneys where water runs. Blasting only takes off the top layer, so the growth comes back fast.

A soft wash lets the cleaning solution soak into the brick and break the growth down, then rinses it away with low pressure. Your plants get soaked with a neutralizer first, so they're protected the whole time.

Where Brick Gets Dirty

The spots that turn green and black first.

Low on the Walls

Splash from rain and sprinklers keeps the bottom of brick walls damp, which is where green growth starts first.

Shaded Sides

North facing brick and walls under big trees grow mildew and moss faster than sunny walls.

Steps and Columns

Brick steps and columns near the front door collect dirt and growth from daily foot traffic and damp shade.

Under Gutters and Downspouts

Overflowing gutters leave dark streaks running down the brick every time it rains.

What Your Neighbors Say About CaroClean

Real reviews from real customers, copied word for word from our Google Business Profile.

  • Highly recommend CaroClean Pressure Washing! We had them clean the exterior of our house along with our driveway, sidewalks, and both our front and back patio areas, and the results were exceptional. The difference before and after was incredible. Areas of the siding and concrete that had built-up dirt, grime, and discoloration look clean and refreshed again.

    They did a very thorough job and paid attention to the entire property rather than rushing through it. Our driveway, sidewalks, and patio look dramatically better, and the exterior of the house looks fantastic.

    The pricing was also very fair for the amount of work completed. We never felt overcharged, especially considering the quality of the results. We are extremely happy with the work and would absolutely use CaroClean Pressure Washing again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional pressure washing or exterior cleaning!

    Caz recently power washed my parents’ home in Mooresville and I cannot say enough amazing things about him! He arrived EARLY (I know, unheard of nowadays), he was extremely knowledgeable of what he was doing and he came up with a game plan for the project and my parents were privy and apart of the process every step of the way. On my behalf of my parents, there aren’t enough stars to share how awesome Caz is. We look forward to working with him in the future. Many people have worked on my parents’ house and Caz is the keeper. His prices are EXTREMELY REASONABLE. great kid, great service!

  • Caz was wonderful from the very first conversation! He performed an inspection, explained what needed to be done, walked me through what to expect, and provided an estimate. I was able to get an appointment within just two days, which was great. He did an amazing job, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. I highly recommend Caz to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and friendly service!

Brick Cleaning Questions

Have a different question? Find more answers on the full pressure washing FAQ.

Can you pressure wash brick?

Brick can handle more than siding, but high pressure still wears down mortar over time. A soft wash cleans brick without putting the joints at risk.

Will cleaning remove moss from brick?

Yes. Moss and algae break down under the cleaning solution and rinse away. Trimming back shade and keeping the area dry helps keep it from coming back.

My house has brick and siding. Can you clean both?

Yes. Many homes have brick on the front and vinyl or Hardie board on the sides. Each surface gets cleaned the way it needs in the same visit.

Can you clean brick steps and columns?

Yes. Brick steps, columns and porch fronts can be cleaned along with the rest of the house.
