Exterior building cleaning

Even the newest or most ornate structure will look dramatically improved after a thorough cleaning. Our professional team can give recommendations on the best method for your project. Chemical cleaning can be a highly effective method for restoring masonry and other surfaces, but should only be completed by a professional. Chemical cleaning is followed by a wash with low pressure water to prevent surface damage and erosion. High pressure washing is a cost-effective way to clean building facades when the conditions and materials are conducive to its use. Sandblasting combines a gritty substance like sand with a high pressure stream of air to wear away a surface or coating. Depending on the texture of the substance used, sandblasting can clean steel just as effectively as more delicate surfaces.
Our team offers an in-depth knowledge of all types of masonry repair and restoration work, with extensive training both in the requirements of the job and completing it safely. We specialize in various types of masonry work.
Even the durability of limestone, marble and brick may not always stand the test of time or of continual wear and tear. Deterioration and water run-off may cause brick and stone to crack or spall, requiring repair or replacement.
Waterproofing requires the application of a coating which acts as a barrier to moisture. If improperly applied, waterproof coating can cause condensation on the inside of walls, ground moisture, or leaks from other sources that can become trapped inside walls. This moisture can then freeze, causing the masonry to spall or crack. When applied correctly, waterproofing will keep a foundation dry and protected for years.
Given the amount and the size of cars and trucks that travel through parking garages and decks each day, it is not surprising that these structures eventually require repair. We can fix and seal spalling concrete, identify and repair leaks, clean and seal floors and walls, chase cracks and apply traffic coatings.
Our skilled and experienced team can identify potential trip hazards and repair them. Even a trip hazard created on purpose, such as a pipe that will connect plumbing to another floor, could be considered dangerous and should be evaluated.
One of the easiest ways to help maintain the exterior of a facade is to keep water, wind and rain from infiltrating the building. Caulking achieves this goal by keeping joints sealed. These joints must be sealed tightly enough to shut out air and water, but remain flexible enough to expand and contract. Caulking carefully applied by a professional will contribute to your building's efficient use of energy. This could result in additional savings in reduced heating and air conditioning costs..
CPI Restoration will work closely with you to understand your structural engineering demands and recommend services that will meet your needs. Once you begin work with a structural engineering company, we will coordinate with the company to ensure that the project is completed to your expectations.
