Plains Wind Sandblast

Sherman is open country. The wind never stops. It carries fine grit.

This acts like a sandblaster. It cuts the polish. It dulls the reflection. Wiping it dry destroys the finish.

We use high-volume water for grave site cleaning services. We float the abrasive off. We save the shine.

Ice Heave

North Texas freezes hard. The ground expands.

This snaps concrete footers. Monuments lean. Shoving dirt in the gap fails. The frost pushes it out.

For tombstone repair and restoration, we bypass the frost line. We anchor to stable subsoil. The stone stays level.

Harvest Chaff

Wheat fields surround the city. Harvest creates organic dust.

This chaff is sticky. It lands on hot granite. It melts and turns black. People searching for headstone cleaning services near me try to wipe it. That smears the glue.

We use a surfactant. We lift the organic resin. We wash it clean.

Hard Water Scale

Sprinklers run in summer. The water has high calcium.

It leaves a white crust. It bonds like cement. Scrapers chip the stone.

We use buffered acid for cleaning stone gravestones. We dissolve the mineral bond. We wash the crust away.

Lichen Pitting

Old stones in West Hill have lichen. It eats rocks.

It dissolves the stone binder. It digs craters. Pressure washing blows the face off. We use a biological soak. It kills the organism. The lichen falls off.
