Orange Stains on Siding and Concrete
Iron in well water leaves orange arcs where sprinklers hit the wall, the porch or the drive. High pressure cannot lift them because they are a stain, not dirt. A rust remover dissolves the iron, then a rinse carries it off.

If you run a private well and see orange fans on the house, you are not alone. Well water stains house Castle Hayne owners ask about the most, and most are from the yard sprinklers.

Why Castle Hayne Is Its Own Kind of Job
The ZIP code 28429 is the least dense part of New Hanover County, at about 234 people per square mile. Roughly 9,662 residents live here in recent Census estimates. That means more land per house and more private wells.
Houses sit far back from the road. Outbuildings stand beside them, and trees crowd the edge of the yard.

Red Clay and Shady Mildew
Rain on bare dirt throws red clay up the bottom of the siding, garage doors and brick. It leaves a stripe that grows taller each storm. Tall trees add shade, and shade adds mildew on north walls and under eaves.
A soft wash handles both. Clay needs a gentle scrub so it does not drive into porous brick, and mildew needs a cleaner that keeps working after we rinse.
