| | Do you have decorative brick work or natural stone that you need to clean but are afraid you could damage it? You should be weary, as it is very easy to damage if you do not clean it correctly. Improper use of cleaning chemicals can destroy it, discolor it, and ruin it. Using the wrong kind of brush can do the same thing. Cleaning it with a pressure washer could be your best bet, but if you use the wrong pressure tip, all bets are off on that too. The biggest problem with using a pressure washers come from inappropriately choosing the wrong tip. For instance a "zero tip" will dig a horrible hole, which is just terrible unless you are attempting to drill a hole for an anchor iron to hang something. The zero tip could cut off someone's finger if it were used as a weapon. Another common tip to use is the 15 degree tip, most all pressure washers, even the little electric, Chinese built home units often have these. And although these little units only have 800 to 1500 psi, with a zero tip, if you get too close to the natural stone you can very easily cause permanent damage. Thus, I recommend keeping the pressure wand 12 inches away at all times when cleaning natural brick and to choose a 25 degree tip or larger, I recommend a 45 degree tip just to play it safe. The second problem with folks that clean natural brick is using the wrong chemicals that can permanently stain the brick, so it's best to use a semi-hard bristle brush, soap and water and a 45 degree pressure washing tip at the end of the gun or wand. | |

A homeowner always feels that he could have done with a little more space in the house. The basement often remains abandoned full of dumped furniture and other scraps and we forget about it.
Rising damp can cause serious damage, not only to the walls of your home, but to other structures like the timbers as well. It can also affect the efficiency of your home, and it can also have a serious effect on you and your family's health too, so you may need a damp proofing course to repair the damage. Newer and more modern homes should already have had a damp proofing course fitted as this is now part of building regulations, but the older stone built homes will probably not have one, but will more than likely...
As summer approaches, many homeowners are indubitably thinking about remodeling their home. The warm weather provides the perfect atmosphere for getting in the renovation spirit, and with many of us taking vacations over this period, we obviously have the time to get in and remodel those parts of our residence which we don't care for, or add on additional space to accommodate those now living with us.
