Paver cleaning
in Overijse
On the building stock of Overijse — post-war villas on sloping ground, old greenhouses, complex roofs with many pitches — paver cleaning calls for a method that fits. Terraces and driveways in clay pavers stripped right down, joints redone where needed, then a water-repellent treatment that keeps the colour and blocks moss.

The context in Overijse
Why here in particular
In the heart of the Druivenstreek, Overijse spreads over wooded ground where the houses cling to the slopes, between old grape greenhouses and recent villas. In practice the tree cover keeps the roofs damp and the gutters fill up twice a year rather than once.
A porous clay paver drinks up water, greens over on the shaded side and fills with moss in the joints. In winter the trapped water freezes and blows the surface apart.

Frequently asked questions
Paver cleaning in Overijse
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Does the water-repellent treatment darken the colour?
The colourless one no, the wet look yes, clearly. We test on one area before treating the whole roof.
How long before you can walk on it again?
A few hours before walking on it, 48 h before putting heavy furniture back or parking a car.
Can a concrete terrace be treated?
Yes, the method is the same. The products change according to the porosity.

Yes. Overijse is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
