If your house walls, driveway or sidewalk have orange or brown streaks in a fan shape, your sprinklers are probably to blame. Many South Florida homes water the lawn with well water, and that water often carries iron that stains everything it hits.
Why regular pressure washing doesn't fix it
Rust stains are a chemical stain, not dirt. Blasting them with high pressure rarely removes them and can damage concrete or paint. They need a rust-removal treatment made for the surface, followed by a rinse.
Where rust stains show up
Stucco and painted walls near sprinkler heads
Driveways, sidewalks and curbs
Pavers and pool decks
White vinyl fences
How we remove them
We apply a rust remover suited to the surface, let it work, and rinse at low pressure. Most stains lift in one visit. Very old or deep stains may fade a lot but need a second treatment.
Keeping them from coming back
Adjust sprinkler heads so they don't spray walls and hardscape
Ask an irrigation company about a rust-inhibitor system for well water
Schedule a rust treatment with your yearly house wash
