The effects of hard water stains on your home’s exterior
Hard water stains/marks are an exceptionally common issue, characterised by white or grey-coloured residue, usually found towards the bottom of exterior walls.
How to remove hard water stains
The cause of these marks is mostly rainfall, which is rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium. The water collects at the bottom of walls and evaporates, leaving behind dense solutes on the face of the wall. These solutes often then condense and form visual marks.
To remove these hard water stains,
a carefully mixed solution of muriatic acid and water is required, with the acidity of the acid neutralising the alkaline magnesium and calcium and acting to lift them off the wall.
This solution is then applied to the problem areas using a soft brush, with a robust brushing often required to lift off the most resilient stains.
A water rinse should follow before applying another coat of solution to act on still-resistant stains.
It is essential that this work is conducted by a highly experienced team, and it is not a job we would recommend any average building owner to take on themselves.
Too high acidity can damage brick, and incorrect mixing can easily water down the solution to the degree that it is ineffective.

The longer hard water stains sit on your walls, the more difficult they become to remove.
Over time, the minerals can penetrate deeper into the surface, causing permanent discolouration and damage.
Hard water stains can also lower the perceived value of your property.
A weathered exterior gives the impression of neglect, which can impact both curb appeal and market value.
