Apply a primer, rust inhibitor now. The building inspector who has 30 years experience as a building inspector and good reviews said his sure its just a bit of harmless surface rust and nothing needs to be done for atleast ten years , he said even though the beams are non galvanized they are so thick and strong they will last decades without treatment and the steel posts underneath that also a little bit of rust but they are glavanized so they will rust really slow . But l will probably treat it in a few years to be safe, its not an urgent problem Re: rust on house I Beams 20Nov 08, 2023 10:13 am ![]() ![]() i had a stroke reading this thread why, what do you mean? I shouldn't have to explain this to you. But.... sure you dont have to do anything now. But why would you wait X years before you do do do something arguably pretty easy as a preventative so that a) you don't have to monitor, b) adress a longer term risk and c)protect your investment. Have you ever seen videos or pictures of people with medical conditions that are so gross you asked yourself "how could you let something get that bad?" This could be you in 10 years. Time will tell. if l cannot get a sandblaster would a sander with sandpaper be better then a wire brush 4 7986 thanks, yes they are dry , thats a good idea with fish oil as sanding will be hard 4 3729 That just protects from further rust, l want first to apply a rust converter or rust killer to kill the rust thats there, whats the best one for galvanized steel 2 8449 |
