Unsightly Rust Stains on the side of your Home?
Have you ever noticed unsightly rust stains on the side of your home, sidewalk, or driveway? These stains are often caused by hard water irrigation systems, and they can be a challenge to keep clean.
What causes these rust stains?
Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. When hard water is used to irrigate lawns and gardens, the minerals can build up by running down the concrete or by spraying onto the sides of homes. Over time, this can cause rust stains to form.
Rust Stains can also cause permanent damage
Rust stains are not only unsightly, but they can also damage the exterior of a home. If left untreated, rust can eat away at the paint or degrade concrete, leading to costly repairs.
Tips to prevent rust stains from forming on your home:
- Use a water softener to remove the minerals that cause hard water.
- Install a filter on your irrigation system to remove the minerals and other impurities from your irrigation water.
- Rinse your home regularly with fresh water to remove any minerals or other debris that may be building up on the sides of your home.
- Make an appointment with an irrigation company that can assist you with redirecting the heads of your sprinklers.
