Irrigation Rust Removal

What This Service Involves

Sprinkler systems and iron-rich well water spray fine mineral droplets that oxidize into orange rust stains along concrete edges, siding, and fences. These iron stains are chemically different from dirt, so soap and pressure only spread them further. We apply rust-dissolving treatments that chemically release the staining from the surface. Correcting the irrigation pattern helps, but clearing the existing rust restores the clean appearance these deposits steadily erode.

Benefits

Chemically dissolves iron-based irrigation rust; Avoids the smearing that pressure alone causes; Restores concrete, siding, and fences to true color; Treats stains at the source rather than masking them; Improves curb appeal marred by orange sprinkler marks

Our Process

1) Locate the rust staining and the irrigation cause; 2) Apply a rust-dissolving cleaner to the marks; 3) Let it react to release the iron staining; 4) Rinse thoroughly and confirm the surface is clear

What Affects the Cost

Coverage and intensity of the rust staining; Surface material affected by the deposits; How long the rust has accumulated; Number of treatment passes required; Access to the stained areas

Best Time of Year

Remove irrigation rust during the summer watering season when the staining is active, and adjust sprinklers to prevent recurrence.
