Efflorescence

High Quality Wet Sandblasting

Efflorescence / Mineral Staining:
Do you have hard, crusty rust or Efflorescence? In Colorado, we have great water, but it comes with many minerals causing brown and green stains to your building exterior, concrete sidewalks, patio and decks.

How Efflorescence Forms
The earth contains natural salts that are present in the raw materials that make up masonry products, such as concrete, asphalt and stucco. These salts remain trapped within masonry in solid form until they are dissolved into water, which usually makes its way into the material through small pores. Water can originate from rain, sprinklers, household leaks, or any number of other places. Cold, dry air will draw this liquid back out of the material where it evaporates, depositing the salt as a white crystalline growth on the surface. Efflorescence typically forms during cold, dry weather shortly after it has rained and moisture has entered the masonry. It can occur year-round, but it is most likely to form during the winter due to low temperatures.

Whether mineral staining is from roof drain leaks, water spouts, draining your fire/sprinkler system, landscape irrigation systems, get your property back to new today.
