Safe Cleaning of Stone Gravestones in McLean

Acid rain is causing our historic McLean sandstone to crumble. What can be done?
Industrial sulfur-dioxide mixes with precipitation to dissolve antique McLean memorials. We neutralize the residual surface acids using buffered alkaline washes. Our restoration experts then apply breathable masonry fortifiers to shield the stone.
Are your cleaning chemicals safe for the local McLean watersheds?
Yes. We exclusively deploy eco-friendly, pH-neutral biocides that effectively kill biological growth but neutralize safely the moment they contact the McLean soil. We protect the local aquifers completely.
How is thick Shenandoah Valley lichen removed from rough McLean granite?
Scraping dry lichen pulls fragile stone chips away. Our McLean field technicians utilize commercial D/2 biological solutions. The chemical dwells on the surface, dissolving the organic grip and allowing us to rinse the debris away harmlessly.
How much does grave care cost in McLean?
Pricing depends on the monument size and condition. You can check the exact price for any plot in McLean instantly using our online configuration tool or by downloading the Tending App.
