Brick walkway/stairs Sign In/Join

So I know that brick is porous but how do I bind the beicks without concrete dust spilling on top and ruining the finish? Just had a walkway done professionally and the concrete dust splashed over the top, and dripped down the center of the stairs and nothing they do seems to fix it. Help!!!! Trying not to loose my patience with the mason sho have ruined $6000 worth of brick

You should be able to get it off with a pressure washer. It will likely wear off over time, but if you want to speed the process up pressure wash it.


General Disclaimer

Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.

My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
