Causes of Foundational Rust
-
- Constant humidity and dampness from thawing ground: Improve drainage and moisture barriers.
- Ocean salt spray or road salt exposure: Move away from ocean or roads.
- Insufficient cleaning, drying, and recoating of pilings: Maintain protective coatings.
- Older pilings losing protective coatings over time: Reapply coatings regularly.
- Scraping against ground wears away protective coatings: Add barrier between piling and ground.
- Low-grade, thin metals corrode faster than high-quality steel: Use high-grade materials.
- Increased moisture from sinking into thawing permafrost: Insulate pilings from ground warmth.
- Galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals contacting: Separate dissimilar metals.
