General Masonry Construction provides expert masonry cleaning and waterproofing services to protect the structural integrity and curb appeal of your property. Over time, exterior surfaces like brick, natural stone, limestone, and CMU (concrete masonry units) accumulate environmental debris, grime, and damaging biological growth. Our specialized treatments ensure your building remains a local standout while preventing costly water-related repairs.

Why Your Property Needs Professional Masonry Cleaning

Northwest Chicago’s climate—ranging from lakefront humidity to harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles—can take a toll on your home’s exterior. Without proactive masonry maintenance, your surfaces are prone to:

• Biological Growth: Algae, mold, and mildew, especially in areas with daily shadowing.

• Environmental Staining: Deep-seated dirt, grime, and soot from urban air quality.

• Water Damage Signs: Unsightly salt spots (efflorescence), water stains, and moisture rot.

• Organic Debris: Stains from bird droppings, wasp nests, and seasonal environmental buildup.

High-Performance Masonry Waterproofing & Sealants

Before applying any protective layer, our experts inspect your masonry for structural deficiencies. We specialize in the application of Sure Klean® Weather Seal products—premium water repellents that protect without altering the natural “breathability” of your stone or brick.

Features of Our Waterproofing Systems:

• Deep Penetration: Our sealants penetrate porous surfaces for long-lasting protection on both vertical walls and horizontal stone features.

• Breathable Technology: We use advanced formulas that allow moisture vapor to escape, preventing internal trapping that leads to spalling and cracking.

• 10+ Year Service Life: We provide durable solutions with an estimated service life exceeding a decade.

• Eco-Friendly Solutions: Our water-based formulas minimize environmental impact and fire hazards compared to traditional solvent-based repellents.

• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Perfect for brick sealing, limestone restoration, and manufactured stone protection.
