TECVAC, Inc. is applying its exclusive vacuum technology to repair grave stones from historic Warner Hall Cemetery in Gloucester County Virginia

       Washington, DC - The grave stone of Mrs. Caroline Barret, a distant cousin of the first President of the United States, is one of several deteriorated stone grave markers located in the Warner Hall Cemetery. The stones are suffering from the affects of environmental pollution and centuries of weathering. Each of the historically significant markers located at the site will be repaired and stabilized using the exclusive vacuum force technologies developed by TECVAC, Inc..

Mrs. Barret was born in 1783 and died in 1811. Her cracked and deteriorated granite stone marker will be the first of the lot to undergo a thorough renewal. Each of the stones will receive SoftSoak^tm vacuum cleaning, repair of individual cracks with PermeJect^tm, reconstruction of missing form and consolidation stabilization with PermeNewal^tm to mitigate further deterioration.

Structural restoration methods employed by TECVAC leave no trace of the repair and can actually hide cracks and damages. A total of 13 grave stones will be repaired.

Warner Hall Cemetery is the resting place of Augustine Warner, born 1610-11, Augustine Warner II, born 1642 and other members of the Warner and Lewis Families. Among their descendants are George Washington, Robert E. Lee and Queen Elizabeth II. George Washington's maternal grandmother, daughter of Augustine Warner II, is also buried at the site.
