How does Mount Laguna's climate affect this service?
Mount Laguna sits at ~5,800 ft elevation in the Laguna Mountains with 30-35" annual rainfall, frequent winter snow, and 100+ freeze nights per year. Heavy moss and lichen on north-facing wood siding and cedar shake roofs, pine-debris cleanup, and high-altitude wood-restoration scope dominate the work.. Mountain driveways see vehicle drip and occasional fuel spill from generators and farm equipment.
Why did bleach make my rust stain worse?
Sodium hypochlorite (bleach/SH) oxidizes iron and drives the rust deeper. It's the right call on organic mildew and algae, the wrong call on iron stains. Applied correctly, it pulls the iron out of the concrete matrix rather than setting it deeper.
Can you get old oil out completely?
Fresh oil almost always. Old oil, years of drips, will fade noticeably, often dramatically, but may leave a shadow. Concrete is porous and oil migrates downward.
