HOA Subdivision Rust Removal

On this episode we completed the biggest rust removal job to date. A whole subdivision rust removal service which included 85 properties. Driveways, sidewalks, fences and curbs. I had my buddy Carey "Ce Foe" Stanley come out with me and my man Chris Bunn with Clean Streak Pressure Washing The project went pretty smooth It took us 2 days to complete the project while using our 12v Lid Sprayers from 4K Softwash.

Man! I found you just in time. I am a decorative concrete artisan in Kansas, and our irrigation systems really do some damage. Obviously, I run into rust issues often on pool decks, patios, etc. I have declined work because of it. This opens me up to new possibilities. I've watched a few videos, and yours have been very enjoyable and informative. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I wouldn't do it if it wasn't with caution. I'm not spraying carelessly and dousing the grass

[@Lukealang]

Probably still going to brown an inch in.....let them know their lawn guy can dye it it will recover in a couple of months.

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

@Lukealang haven't had that yet. This was only 2% so it won't do nothing to it. Granted turf is rare here, I've done work around turf maybe 20 times so far

[@Lukealang]

@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I've had it happen a few times using 1 cup to 1 gallon. Some varieties of grass are more sensitive than others so maybe the breed they are using doesn't burn as easily but plants are much more sensitive to acids than bleach.

[@SmokyMountainExteriorCleaning]

Nice videoing also. How long did it take you to learn editing and what do you like for editing,Thank you sir. Love your jobs!

Thanks. It took me a couple years to get Good and creative. I've used many programs over the years but simplicity wise I think Capcut editing has been the easiest to use. And it doesn't take a lot of memory on your computer.

Sweet vid! Do you pre-treat the sidewalk before the acid solution?

[@StuartMcconney]

Where does the rust come from? I know you have the rebar in the concrete and there can be iron particles in the concrete...but rust on a plastic fence??

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

The sprinkler system pipes that are underground. The high iron levels causes the stains since there's not a filtration system. Which one this case the filtration system malfunctioned

Hey pink I will like to know the type of product you use for paver clean and seal, I see you do a job in one day and other people telling me it take three days because you have to make sure it's dry

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

I use what everyone in the industry uses go clean. Chlorine. But I use deco products silicast. You gotta call them to find your nearest distributor

[@AnthonyWilson-gi8sb]

what's up Cliff, hey how hot is your downstream mix are you able to adjust it? or is that when you use your soft wash setup for hotter mixes

[@PinkFlamingoPowerWash]

Mine probably pulls around a 1.5-2% but that's the highest it'll get cause you can only adjust down by adding water to your SH which I never do. Yes the soft wash system is what I can adjust the mix from .01% to 12.5% full strength
