The Best Stone and Brick Cleaning Melbourne Methods
Power Washing
Power washing can be used to clean
brick exterior and interior walls. The power washing machine can be
used up to 100 feet away from the structures being cleaned. If not used
carefully and within reasonable boundary, pressure water cleaning may damage
the masonry. For example, if the Nozzle pressure in an excess of 700 psi it can
damage the bricks and erode mortar joints.
Grit
Blasting Services
Grit blasting is an industrial process
where surfaces are treated to make them smooth or rough by spraying a pressured
stream of grit to the surface. This treatment has a wide range of industrial
applications including; removing contaminants from the surface, polishing and
removing rust.
The abrasive substance that is used
varies depending on what is being cleaned. And what is happening to it after it
has been cleaned. This method of cleaning can be used to remove organic matter
(mosses / lichens / algae) from most surfaces, especially brickwork and
stonework. The waters heat also helps completely kill the spores of organic
matter thus increasing the length of time needed between cleaning. This system
is also used to remove paints from stonework and brickwork (in some cases a
paint softener will also need to be applied to the surface to assist in
removal).
TORC &
DOFF Cleaning
The DOFF system (which uses
superheated water) is different in action to other systems. It uses
'superheated' water which exits the nozzle, in a fan pattern. This method or
system uses a water supply method, which then gets to a high pressure unit
pump. Here the pressure is increased to the required level before entering the
'hotbox'. The pressure can be adjusted by the operator and is independent of
the temperature setting. Within the heater part, the temperature may increase
to 150C just before it passes on through a heat resistant nozzle. This nozzle
directs the heated water onto the surface to be cleaned in fan like motion.
TORC systems on the other hand can be
applied to remove carbon sulphation stains, lime and cement based paints,
bitumen, paint residues, and old oil based paints and lime scales. The TORC
system works by creating a gentle swirling vortex whereby a mixture of low air
pressure, a little water and safe inert fine granules is used.
When selecting professional Stone and Brick Cleaning Melbourne technicians it
is important to ensure that not only are they are highly trained, but insured
