Water-repellent treatment after facade cleaning — Facade cleaner
Describe the surface and cleaning already completed, including any known coatings, cracks or damp symptoms. Ask whether impregnation is suitable and useful for that substrate before ordering it as an automatic finishing step after every facade clean.
Service scope
Assessment and application of a suitable water-repellent impregnation to a cleaned, compatible facade substrate where justified. This is a post-cleaning treatment commission, not a universal waterproofing solution or a substitute for correcting cracks, failed joints or moisture sources.
What is normally included
- Suitability assessment after cleaning
- Specification of an appropriate impregnation
- Agreed treatment and completion record
What is not included
- Treatment of every surface regardless of compatibility
- A guarantee to cure all damp or water penetration
Typical tasks
- Review the cleaned substrate
- Identify defects or moisture concerns
- Check product compatibility and prerequisites
- Apply the agreed specialist treatment
- Record treated areas and maintenance information
What to include in your brief
- Substrate and cleaning history
- Existing coatings or treatments
- Known defects and damp symptoms
- Area and exposure
- Required appearance and maintenance expectations
Choosing the right professional
Ask the provider to explain the purpose and limitations of the proposed product and why the substrate is suitable. Check whether repairs or drying conditions must be addressed first; a protective treatment should not be sold as a cure for an unidentified building defect.
Important considerations
- An incompatible treatment can alter the surface
- Treating unresolved defects can leave water-entry problems unchanged
