Trusted Local Specialists in Perth

Bore water stains are one of the toughest and most frustrating problems Perth homeowners face. Those deep orange, brown and rust-coloured stains don’t just make your driveway, paths or walls look dirty — they make your whole property feel tired, neglected and hard to maintain.

At WetJet Works, we specialise in bore water stain removal using proven techniques, professional equipment and honest advice. While not every surface can be restored to brand-new condition, we consistently achieve significant, visible improvements — even on the most challenging jobs.

1. Restore the Look of Your Property

Bore water stains can make even a well-maintained home look worn out. Professional stain removal can dramatically brighten driveways, pathways, alfresco areas and walls, instantly improving street appeal.

While results vary depending on surface type and stain age, professional treatment often delivers:

  • Major visual improvement

  • More even colouring across surfaces

  • A cleaner, fresher overall appearance

2. Save Money on Replacement & Repairs

Many homeowners assume stained concrete or pavers need to be replaced — which can be extremely costly. In many cases, professional bore water stain removal can restore surfaces enough to avoid resurfacing, replacement or painting.

This can save thousands of dollars by:

  • Extending the life of existing surfaces

  • Reducing the need for costly renovations

  • Preventing stains from permanently etching deeper

What Causes Bore Water Stains?

Bore water contains high levels of iron and minerals. When it’s used on lawns, gardens or reticulation systems, overspray lands on concrete, pavers, walls and fences. Over time, those minerals oxidise, creating stubborn stains that standard pressure washing alone simply can’t remove.

Without proper treatment, bore water stains:

  • Become darker and more embedded over time

  • Spread across surrounding surfaces

  • Permanently discolour concrete and pavers

  • Reduce the overall appearance and value of your home

Bore water stains are often treated incorrectly with harsh acids or over-aggressive pressure, which can permanently damage concrete and pavers.

Professional treatment ensures:

  • Correct products for the surface type

  • Controlled application to prevent etching

  • Safe neutralisation and thorough rinsing

This protects your surfaces while maximising results.

3. Avoid Damage from DIY Attempts

A Real Local Job – Bore Water Stain Removal in Mount Lawley

We were recently contacted by a homeowner in Mount Lawley who was struggling with heavy bore water staining across their driveway and pathways. The stains had been building up for years and had resisted multiple DIY attempts.

When we inspected the job, we were upfront — due to the age and severity of the staining, there were no guarantees of a full removal. The customer appreciated the honesty and decided to proceed, hoping for at least some improvement.

Using a careful combination of professional cleaning methods and specialised stain treatments, we worked the surface in stages, taking our time and adjusting our approach as the job progressed.

The result?
While not perfect, the improvement was dramatic. The staining was significantly lightened, the surface looked cleaner and more uniform, and the driveway went from an eyesore to something the homeowner was genuinely proud of again.

The customer was thrilled — not just with the result, but with the communication, care, and realistic expectations set from the start.

Bore Water Stain Removal – Frequently Asked Questions

In some cases, yes — but not always. The results depend on several factors including how long the stains have been there, the surface type, and how deeply the minerals have penetrated. Our goal is always to achieve the best possible improvement, and in many cases the transformation is dramatic. We’re upfront and honest about what’s achievable before starting any work.

Can bore water stains be completely removed?
Why won’t normal pressure washing remove bore water stains?

Bore water stains are caused by iron and mineral oxidation, which bonds to the surface. Standard pressure washing alone can clean dirt and grime, but it usually won’t break down mineral staining. That’s why specialised treatments and controlled cleaning methods are required to see real results.

Is bore water stain removal safe for concrete and pavers?

Yes — when done correctly. Using the wrong products or excessive pressure can permanently damage surfaces. At WetJet Works, we select the appropriate treatment based on the surface and stain severity, then apply it carefully to avoid etching, discolouration or weakening of the material.

Will the stains come back after cleaning?

If bore water overspray continues, staining can gradually return over time. However, professional removal significantly resets the surface, and we can also offer advice on ways to reduce future staining — such as adjusting reticulation spray patterns or cleaning maintenance schedules.

How long does bore water stain removal take?

Most residential jobs are completed within a few hours, depending on the size of the area and severity of the staining. Heavily stained surfaces may require a slower, staged approach to achieve the best result without causing damage.

Do you offer guarantees on stain removal?

Because bore water stains vary so much, we don’t offer blanket guarantees. What we do guarantee is honest advice, professional workmanship, and the best achievable outcome for your specific surfaces. Many customers appreciate this transparency and are thrilled with the results.

Is it worth removing bore water stains instead of replacing the surface?

In many cases, yes. Professional bore water stain removal can significantly improve appearance at a fraction of the cost of resurfacing, painting, or replacing concrete or pavers. It’s often the smartest first step before considering expensive alternatives.

Do I need to be home during the service?

Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the areas being treated and a water connection, we can complete the work while you’re out. We’ll always communicate clearly before and after the job.
