Comprehensive Limestone Cleaning Services
Limestone is a prevalent feature in Chicago’s architecture, adorning everything from historic buildings to modern patios. Its porous nature, while aesthetically pleasing, makes it susceptible to contaminants like mold, mildew, and environmental pollutants. Our experienced technicians are adept at cleaning various limestone elements, including:
- Building Facades: Revitalizing the exteriors of limestone-clad structures.
- Stairs and Patios: Removing grime and biological growth to enhance safety and appearance.
- Sills and Cornices: Detail-oriented cleaning to preserve architectural features.
- Statues and Artwork: Gentle techniques to maintain artistic integrity.
Understanding Limestone Contaminants
Over time, limestone surfaces can accumulate various forms of contamination:
- Biological Growth: Due to its porosity, limestone often harbors mold and mildew, especially in humid environments.
- Carbon Crusting: Typically found in areas shielded from rainwater, such as under crowns or ornate carvings, this phenomenon results from the accumulation of atmospheric pollutants. While less common, it’s prevalent in older structures exceeding a century in age.
Our Proven Cleaning Process
We employ a meticulous, time-tested approach to limestone cleaning:
- Assessment: Evaluating the type and extent of contamination to determine the most effective cleaning method.
- Surface Preparation: Removing loose debris and protecting adjacent areas to prevent damage.
- Cleaning Application: Utilizing appropriate cleaning agents and techniques, such as low-pressure steam cleaning or specialized poultices, to address specific contaminants without harming the stone.
- Rinsing and Neutralizing: Thoroughly washing away residues and neutralizing any remaining cleaning agents to prevent future deterioration.
- Sealing (Optional): Applying a breathable sealant to protect the limestone from future staining and biological growth. For more information please call 312-284-0044.
