Chalmette sits down-river behind the levee, where industrial particulate settles alongside the ordinary humidity and mold.
Chalmette sits down-river behind the levee, where industrial particulate settles alongside the ordinary humidity and mold. That combination leaves a grittier, greyer film than you get uptown, and it works into the pores of concrete and brick rather than sitting on the surface. Rinsing moves the loose part and leaves the rest.
Concrete and brick need a surface cleaner and enough dwell time for the solution to work before rinsing, or you lift the top layer and leave the rest. Siding needs the opposite: low pressure and a solution that does the work. Most of the housing here is rebuilt or newer, so materials are consistent and predictable to treat.

Concrete and brick are porous, and a fine gritty deposit does not sit on top of them, it works into the pore structure. Rinsing carries off the loose fraction and leaves what has gone in, which is why a slab can look better while wet and much the same once dry. Getting it out takes a cleaning solution with enough dwell time to release the deposit, then a surface cleaner to lift it evenly.
The temptation is to compensate with pressure instead, and that is what damages the slab. Enough force to strip embedded grit also takes off the cement paste at the surface, exposing the aggregate and leaving a rougher face that then holds dirt faster than before.
Most Chalmette housing is rebuilt or newer, so the materials are modern and consistent: cement-mortared brick, modern vinyl, current shingle stock. There is very little fragile old paint or soft lime mortar to work around, which means the method is predictable and the finish comes out even across an elevation instead of patchy. Siding still gets a low-pressure soft wash and concrete still gets a surface cleaner, but the judgement calls are fewer than on an older property.
Gulf humidity and heavy tree canopy mean growth comes back fast here.
