Have you been scratching your head wondering why your pavers are covered in a white cloud all of a sudden?
The white substance ruining the appearance of your pavers is called efflorescence. It doesn’t damage your pavers. It just gives them an unsightly appearance.
What is Efflorescence and What Causes it?
Efflorescence is also known as calcium hydroxide. It appears when moisture and salt migrates to the surface of the pavers. Once the mixture reaches the surface, it mixes with the carbon dioxide in the air and creates a white haze/film that covers the pavers. The darker your pavers are, the more pronounced the efflorescence is.
How to Get Rid of Efflorescence
It could eventually disappear, but not likely. Simply pressure washing the pavers will not remove it. Another option would be sandblasting, however, we don't recommend it.
The best solution is to contact a professional to chemically remove it.
