Hi guys. I had this red brick wall built in front of my house about 20 years ago give or take, and it looks terrible now with all the various patches of discolouration and white specks. Will jetwashing clean it up sufficiently to look good again? I'm going to borrow my brother's but I'm not sure how powerful it is. Would it be worthwhile hiring an industrial jetwash from my local tool hire place if my brother's is ineffective? There's a thin crack through the middle of one brick right in the middle area of the wall, you can see it if you enlarge the photo fully. Will that be ok to just fill if I buy a small bag of quick mortar that I add water to? I was then just going to re-paint the white tops and redo some of the pointing.
