Used Brick Restoration

Used Brick Restoration is an everyday job for Bielski Services. We have a long list of customers that have taken advantage of the experience at brick cleaning and restoration with minimal erosion of the brick itself. Knowing what cleaner to use for each type brick along with the right pressure to use on the application and removal is very key to optimal results.

On new construction brickwork there's always lime run or efflorescence that can ruin the look of the clay brick, unless cleaned properly. Here's an example of Bielski cleaning new construction brick to expose that natural beauty. Water repellant can then be applied to enhance the long term resistance to weather related stains and efflorescence.	Click on picture for better view
