Blackland Clay Heave
The soil here is deep Blackland Clay. It moves violently.
Summer cracks the ground. Winter rain swells it. This pressure snaps concrete footers. Monuments lean. Shoveling dirt under the gap fails. The clay swallows it.
For tombstone repair and restoration, we bypass the moving topsoil. We install friction piers. We anchor the foundation to the stable subsoil.
Construction Dust Cement
Celina is booming. New developments kick up limestone dust.
This dust settles on the markers. Morning dew turns it into a wet paste. The sun bakes it hard. It bonds to the polish. Wiping it dry scratches the finish like sandpaper.
We use a high-volume water flush for headstone cleaning services near me. We float the grit off. We clear the haze without damage.
Harvest Chaff
Fields still surround the cemeteries. Harvest kicks up organic dust.
This chaff sticks to the stones. It rots and turns black. It creates a sticky film. Rain won't wash it off.
We use a surfactant for grave site cleaning services. We lift the organic debris out of the pores. The stone washes clean.
Hard Water Scale
Sprinklers run hard in the heat. The water is full of calcium.
The sun evaporates the water. The white crust stays. It bonds like cement to the base. Scrapers chip the stone.
We use a buffered acid for cleaning stone gravestones. It dissolves the mineral bond. We wash the crust away.
Fire Ant Acid
Fire ants build mounds against the warm stones.
The dirt is acidic. It burns the polish. It leaves a rough, dull ring. You cannot wash this damage off. We treat the ground. Then we neutralize the acid to stop the burn.
