SH being re-activated

It can reactivate with rain within a few days after being sprayed. That is why we always rinse roof with no gutters, as the morning dew could reactivate, and create a drip line burn.

Doug I always rinse drive way, roof etc. especially roofs with no gutters.

We rinse everything except roofs with gutters

Thanks guys. I was considering not rinsing because the driveway is a bit steep. Worried about my mix hitting the storm drain.

This job is near the entrance to a real ritzy neighborhood so I just want everything to take way too long and look great. Which tome also means no runoff into the street.

If that is the case you may want to rinse and control or recover the run off

while the bleach may or may not reactivate, the surfactant will and you will see suds running off after a rain

Id use sand bags and berms at the end of the drive with a sump pump recovering the discharge and pumping it off to the sewer clean out cap on the house.

If you do capture and pump into sewer clean out on the property make sure they do not have a septic system. Or at least do a little homework first, I would hate to see you kill off all the bacteria on the system... Shouldn't be a problem if they are connected to sewer line though...
