More than any other task performed by a mason contractor, cleaning is a means and methods function. Building codes and contract documents will spell out performance requirements; however in most instances it should be left to the mason contractor to determine the process to follow to achieve the requirements. Masonry producers, chemical and equipment manufacturers can all provide valuable suggestions, but there are so many variables that only the mason is in a position to evaluate conditions and make adjustments. One step however, should never be varied: test your means and methods before you start. The consequences of not testing first can cost a mason a tremendous amount of money if the wall is damaged.
