Rust Removal

What This Service Involves

Rust bleeds onto surfaces from irrigation water, metal furniture, and fasteners, and the constant Northwest moisture keeps it spreading. Standard pressure washing only smears these stains, so we apply specialized oxalic or acid-based removers that dissolve the iron oxide. The treatment is neutralized and rinsed to leave the surface clean and undamaged. Removing rust promptly stops it from etching permanently into concrete and masonry.

Benefits

Dissolves rust rather than smearing it; prevents permanent etching into concrete; restores original surface color; safe for surrounding landscaping when applied correctly; addresses stains other washing leaves behind

Our Process

1) Test the stain and surface for the right remover; 2) Apply rust-dissolving treatment to the affected area; 3) Let it dwell and gently agitate the stain; 4) Neutralize and rinse the treated surface

What Affects the Cost

Size and depth of the rust staining; surface material and porosity; source of the ongoing rust; number of stained areas; need for repeat treatments

Best Time of Year

Rust removal can be performed any time of year, but drier conditions help the treatment dwell without dilution from rain.
