Railroad Rust

Burleson is a railroad town. Iron dust floats in the air.

It lands on the granite. Moisture turns it into rust specks. It looks like orange measles. Soap won't remove metal.

We use a pH-neutral iron dissolver for cleaning stone gravestones. We melt the iron particles. The rust washes away.

Blackland Clay Heave

The soil is active clay. It shrinks and swells.

This snaps concrete footers. Monuments lean. Shoveling dirt under the gap is useless. The clay swallows it.

For tombstone repair and restoration, we bypass the moving topsoil. We install friction piers. We anchor the foundation to stable subsoil.

Agricultural Film

Farms surround the city. Chemicals drift in the wind.

This creates a sticky film on the polish. Dirt bonds to it. Rain beads up. Wiping it smears the grease.

We use an industrial degreaser for grave site cleaning services. We strip the chemical layer. The stone shines again.

Black Algae

Humidity breeds black algae. It looks like soot.

It roots into the stone. People searching for headstone cleaning services near me often use pressure washers. That is a mistake. It drives roots deeper.

We use a biocide soak. It kills the roots inside the rock. The dead algae rinses off.

Fire Ant Acid

Fire ants build mounds against the base.

The dirt is acidic. It burns the polish. It leaves a rough ring. You cannot wash this damage off. We treat the ground. Then we neutralize the acid.
