Is it something that can be lightened or cleaned?

It is right by a high way but the surface is totally clean. Looks like the concrete is a different shade. I think it is just from weathering but I wanted to double check.

I had to look that up, is creosote a tar like substance? I’m not sure if you can tell from the picture but I don’t think there is any substance on the concrete, its more like under the concrete and each mark has a small crack going down the center. Have you dealt with this before? or is there...

We just cleaned a building with softwash and it cleaned up all the mold but there where some marks underneath. They don’t appear to be stains but more just weathering in the concrete surface. they are all over the building and I am hoping to be able to explain what they are to the property...

Question, we have recently bought plantwash that we will be using to protect plants from the SH we use in cleaning homes. It is in a powdered form and can be sprayed from the end of a garden hose with an attachment that mixes the water and powder upstream. I would like to do something similar...

Hello all, I'm looking for a possible solution to streamline our reclaiming. We use the hydrotek AZV88 reclaim system on a trailer setup. the waste water is recycled into our tanks on the trailer. The problem is that at the end of the day the tanks get a bunch of nasty sludge on the bottom and...

I've been using small shureflo diaphragm pumps for spraying degreaser and also for pushing chem through downstream injectors on our power washers. Unfortunately they seem to always give me problems and last a year tops, so I have been looking for a pump that I could replace them with and came...

So we carry Hydrotek water tanks on our trailer rigs, but our most recent water tanks have been developing cracks on the bottom corner where the tank is indented. I've tried repairing them with polyethylene strips but the repairs last only a couple months. I need to find a better tank does...

Hello, quick question, during the winter is there some type of winterizing I should be doing for my water-fed pole system? I've had it for 3 years and have never winterized it during the winter months. I live in NJ where it gets too cold to use it for at least 2 months during the winter. It has...

Hello, I have an unloader on a 3,000 psi 8.5 gpm machine that I can't seem to set correctly. I am only able to set the flow pressure to about 1,800psi before my spike pressure starts hitting 4,000 psi. We have a second machine that has the exact same setup, going through a heater and 200' of...

Hello, rookie question here. Just posting to get some information on a recent job I did. I was cleaning the front of a store using %12.5 bleach. There was a vinyl banner with yellow lettering hanging on the store front and the yellow lettering turned into white/grey lettering. I've been using...

Hello, I've been having issues with a burner on my hydrotek 8 gpm unit. The thermal overload on the burner motor keeps tripping on me. It is a fairly old unit about 8 yrs. old. The burner unit is a 115 volt burner powered by the generator on the skid unit. While using the machine I found I...
