Iron & Rust Stains

 

Causes of Iron & Rust Stains

Iron stains, which typically occur on the siding and foundation of a house are generally caused by  the use of iron-rich ground water for irrigation purposes. This includes sprinkler systems used to water lawns, plants and gardens. Rust stains, caused when steel or iron is exposed to water and oxygen, are usually found on concrete driveways and house siding. Damaged gutters, metal trim and exposed rebar can all produce rust stains when left unaddressed.

1. Exposed Metal – Damaged gutters and exposed metal trim can cause rust to form on house siding.
2. Patio Furniture – Metal chairs, tables, and garbage cans can leave rust stains on concrete driveways and patios.
3. Irrigation – Iron-rich ground water used for irrigation systems causes iron stains to form on siding and foundations.

 

How To Remove Iron & Rust Stains

As many homeowners may know, removing iron and rust stains without the proper equipment  is just about impossible. A typical house wash removes organics such as algae, moss and dirt, but iron and rust stains require additional treatment. Professional power washing companies utilize specially designed chemicals that are made to remove stains without causing damage. Proper PPE should always be used when handling chemicals to avoid medical emergencies.
