Brick & Chimney Cleaning in Lexington, Columbia & Lake Murray
Brick should be red, not dark and blotchy. The black and green staining on chimneys, walls and steps is usually algae and mildew, and it is something a careful cleaning can lift without harming the brick.
Who This Is For
- Homeowners with dark, stained or streaky brick chimneys or walls
- Brick homes shaded by trees, where growth never dries out
- Anyone preparing a home for sale or painting
- Businesses with brick storefronts or masonry signs and walls
How It Works
- We look at the brick, mortar and the staining to decide on the method.
- We protect plants, nearby surfaces and anything below the work area.
- We apply a cleaning solution at low pressure and let it work on the staining.
- We rinse carefully and check the result with you.
Residential & Commercial
For homes
We clean brick walls, chimneys, columns, steps and planters. Chimneys are often reached from the roof, so we plan access and safety before we start.
For businesses
Brick storefronts, entrances, signs and retaining walls can be cleaned for a fresher look. Tell us about the property and we will advise.
Why brick needs a gentle touch
Brick and mortar are porous. High pressure can wear away mortar joints, damage the face of the brick and push water into the wall. Soft washing treats the algae and mildew with a cleaning solution and a low-pressure rinse.
This is exterior cleaning, not chimney sweeping
We clean the outside of brick and chimneys. We do not sweep, inspect or repair the inside of a flue. For that, call a certified chimney professional. If we notice cracked mortar or loose brick while we work, we will point it out.

Brick & Chimney FAQs
Will cleaning remove all the staining?
Algae and mildew staining usually lifts well. Older or deeper stains may only lighten, and we will tell you what we expect before we begin.
Can you clean a chimney on any roof?
It depends on pitch, height and conditions. We decide whether it can be done safely when we look at your property.
Is soft washing safe for old brick?
It is gentler than pressure washing. If your brick or mortar is badly worn, we will talk through the options first.
