Micro-Seal: Infrastructure Associates

Infrastructure Associate, a commercial property located in Houston, Texas, recently took a proactive step in preserving the longevity and appearance of their brick exterior. To protect their building from the damaging effects of water intrusion and the unsightly buildup of efflorescence, they partnered with A+ Cleaning Squad to apply Micro-Seal.

Brick is a durable and classic building material, but without the right protection, it’s vulnerable to water absorption. Over time, moisture seeps into the surface, bringing with it dissolved salts that rise to the exterior. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a white, chalky residue, commonly known as efflorescence. Aside from being an eyesore, this buildup can accelerate surface degradation, requiring costly repairs down the line.

That’s why Micro-Seal was the ideal choice for this project.

Micro-Seal is a high-performance, silane/siloxane water repellent formulated to protect porous masonry surfaces like brick, concrete, and stucco. Once applied, it forms a clear, breathable barrier that prevents moisture from entering while still allowing vapor to escape. That breathability is key to preventing issues like trapped moisture or peeling coatings, ensuring long-term protection without changing the appearance or texture of the surface.

Micro-Seal is also low odor, zero VOC, and non-toxic, making it a safe and responsible solution for buildings in high-traffic or environmentally sensitive areas. It’s designed to stand up to harsh weather, UV rays, and freezing temperatures, all while helping to prevent efflorescence, mold growth, and surface staining.

With Micro-Seal now protecting their brickwork, Infrastructure Associate has peace of mind knowing their building will stay looking clean and well-maintained for years to come, all thanks to smart preparation and the right protective solution.
