Oil and rust stains are some of the toughest blemishes to remove from concrete, pavers, and other outdoor surfaces. Whether caused by a leaky vehicle, irrigation system, or tools left out in the rain, these stains can be a real eyesore—and often resist traditional cleaning methods.
At SHV Pressure Washing, we specialize in professional oil and rust stain removal in Cohoes. Our proven cleaning techniques and powerful commercial-grade solutions break down and lift tough stains without damaging your surfaces.
Oil and rust stains are more than just ugly—they’re also damaging if left untreated.
Motor oil, transmission fluid, and grease seep deep into concrete and asphalt. Over time, they can weaken the surface, attract more dirt, and cause long-term staining. We use commercial degreasers and hot water pressure washing to break down and remove the oil fully—not just mask it.
Rust can appear from metal furniture, irrigation systems, or even battery acid. These orange and brown stains are highly acidic and difficult to clean without causing damage to the surface. Our rust removal process safely dissolves rust without etching or discoloring your concrete, siding, or pavers.
Our oil and rust stain removal services are ideal for:
Whether you’ve got one small stain or large areas that need attention, we’ve got the tools and experience to restore your surfaces safely and effectively.
We take a detailed, surface-safe approach to every job:
We identify the type of stain and surface to determine the best removal method. We also take steps to protect nearby landscaping or features.
For oil stains, we apply industrial-grade degreasers to break down petroleum and hydrocarbon-based contaminants. For rust, we use a professional rust remover specifically designed for use on concrete, siding, and pavers.
Our hot water pressure washers break down and lift oil from deep within the surface’s pores. The high temperature combined with targeted pressure ensures a deep, even clean.
We thoroughly rinse the area and inspect the surface. Most oil and rust stains are removed on the first pass—any remaining discoloration is treated again for complete removal.
You don’t have to live with unsightly oil and rust stains. Let SHV Pressure Washing restore your concrete, pavers, and siding with our professional stain removal services.
