Meet Hank Johnson – A Lifetime in Masonry

My name is Hank Johnson, and for over 45 years, I’ve been dedicated to the art of masonry.

I’ve seen firsthand the beauty that stone can bring to a structure—but I’ve also seen the challenges that come with it. One of the biggest issues I’ve encountered is efflorescence—the white, chalky residue that forms on masonry, concrete, stone, and brickwork due to moisture movement.

Over the years, I tested countless cleaning products, many of which were toxic and hazardous to both workers and the environment. That’s why I developed a safer, more effective solution—one that removes efflorescence while protecting the integrity of the stone and ensuring worker safety.

I shared my insights in Masonry Magazine, discussing the real challenges masons face and the solutions I’ve developed.
