Community Brick Fireplace Cleaning in Fairfax, VA

Project Overview

StraightLine Power Washing recently completed commercial cleaning project that included a large stone fireplace in a community area in Fairfax, Virginia. The shared outdoor fireplace had accumulated heavy soot, dirt, and organic buildup over the years, making it look worn and uninviting. Our goal was to restore the stone's natural beauty and create a clean, welcoming gathering space for residents to enjoy.

Client Requirements

The community management team requested a full cleaning of the large outdoor stone fireplace. They wanted the soot and discoloration removed while ensuring the stonework and mortar joints were preserved. The goal was to improve both the appearance and the safety of the community gathering space.

Condition on Arrival

The fireplace had heavy soot stains across the stone face, along with moss and mildew growth in shaded areas. The overall surface appeared dark and aged, taking away from the community area’s charm.

Solution and Process

Our team applied a stone-safe cleaning solution to break down soot, dirt, and organic buildup. Using controlled pressure washing techniques, we carefully cleaned the stone surface while protecting the mortar. Special attention was given to corners and high-contact areas to ensure a consistent, refreshed look.

Results

The stone fireplace now looks clean, bright, and inviting. The natural tones of the stone have been restored, and the entire community area feels renewed and ready for residents to enjoy outdoor gatherings around a beautifully restored centerpiece.
