Both commercial and residential properties have a number of surface areas that are prone to staining. The more porous a surface is, the more likely it is to develop stains. One of the common types of stain found on both commercial and residential properties are rust stains. When rust stains develop on siding, in the concrete and other common surfaces, you may feel like those stains are there to stay. Big Moose Pressure Cleaning will share how rust stains develop and what is done to remove those unsightly rust stains.
What Causes Rust Stains?
A rust stain leaves a nasty orange eyesore and compromises your curbside appeal. Rust stains can form very quickly and leave their mark on a number of different surfaces. Some of the more common surfaces that are prone to rust stains are concrete, vinyl or metal siding, plaster molding, and brick. Rust can form from a few different sources such as:
• Metal Features – Lawn furniture, standing fire pits, decorative pieces and even metal architectural materials frequently cause rust stains that develop on the various surfaces they come in contact with. Rust occurs when these common metal features are exposed to moisture.
• Battery Acid – When a car battery develops a leak, the acid can cause a rust like stain. Battery acid leaks are common and come from vehicle, golf carts, and more.
• Irrigation Systems – Some older irrigation systems used iron metal piping in their formation. Even though iron is a durable material, when it comes in contact with water, erosion and rust is soon to follow. Iron based irrigation systems often leave rust stains on walkways, driveways, and even along the sides of buildings.
Using a Pressure Washer to Remove Rust
When rust stains occur they can be very hard to remove. You can spend hours scrubbing at a rust stain with little results. There are many people who believe that rust stains are permanent and those stains are there to stay. However, that is not the case. Rust stains can be removed. The most effective method in rust removal is with pressure cleaning. A professional pressure cleaning service can remove rust stains and restore the beauty of the residential or commercial property. When removing rust stains, a pressure cleaning machine produces a powerful force of water that is mixed with a chemical cleaning agent. A professional pressure cleaning service will have the right chemical cleaner to properly remove stubborn rust stains. With the cleaning agent and the power of a pressure cleaning machine, the rust stain will be removed out of the most porous of surfaces. The rust will dissolve and be removed without the need of vigorous scrubbing. Pressure cleaning services can remove rust stains from driveways, walkways, patios, inside garages, and so much more. For those who feel like rust stains are now a part of your life, contact a professional pressure cleaning service. Rust stains can be effectively removed while the entire surface is cleaned. Pressure cleaning services can instantly improve your curbside appeal.
