🚨 SEEING YELLOW, ORANGE, OR RUST-COLORED STAINS ON YOUR PAVERS?
It may be PYRITE STAINING—and simply pressure-washing the surface may not solve the problem.
Pyrite, sometimes called “fool’s gold,” can occur naturally in some paver materials. When exposed to moisture and air, it can oxidize and contribute to those stubborn yellow, orange, or rust-colored stains you see on your driveway, pool deck, patio, or walkway.
🔎 THE BIG QUESTION:
Can pyrite stains be removed?
Q: Will regular pressure washing remove pyrite stains?
A: Not necessarily. Pyrite-related staining can require specialized cleaning methods and stain treatment.
Q: Can the stains come back?
A: They can. The underlying source and condition of the pavers can affect the results.
Q: Should I seal over the stains?
A: Sealing should come after proper cleaning and preparation. Sealing over existing staining can leave you with the same problem underneath the sealer.
Q: Can Paver Restoration of Florida treat them?
A: We can evaluate the pavers, determine what we're dealing with, and recommend the appropriate restoration process.
