I searched the forum but would like more information. If anyone has a technique they use on brick I would like to hear it.

On the above wall how would you go about cleaning it?
What would you be careful of?
What would you do to keep the mold / mildew from coming back.

I gotta say this job was fun but I was wondering how others would of gone about it.

Thanks
Pat
 
How long have you lived in NC? That's our state flower (mildew) growing and you can't stop it -which is not a bad thing for our industry :) We would have done a test area with our regular housewash before restoration acids. You could upsell a sealing of the brick to deter mildew growth somewhat but considering that it is a retaining wall you may cause a problem with efflo behind the sealer.
 
Yep good old house wash, adjustable wand with low pressure, and cleans right off. If I'm going out to clean just that wall then I'm charging my Minumum Charge. That would really only take about 15-20 minutes to clean. To keep the mold/mildew from coming back....bull doze the wall. Only way I know of. Nothing I know of is gonna keep it from returning. Unless perhaps you eliminate the shade it is under and the water that hit's it.

Nice Job Pat, looks great.
