Mud, Drilling Fluid and Highway Grime

Our pressure washing in Cotulla leans toward work trucks as much as houses. Cotulla went from farming to ranching, then hunting leases, and then to petroleum and natural gas during the Eagle Ford Shale boom. That boom slowed by fall 2015, but pickups, water haulers and equipment trailers still roll through town on Interstate 35, and they come back from lease roads coated in caked mud and oily film.

Fleet and truck washing for Cotulla outfits

A dirty unit costs you in a few ways: lights and reflectors that cannot be seen, mud that hides leaks and worn parts, and a poor look at the customer's gate. We wash pickups, flatbeds, vacuum trucks, frac support trailers and light equipment on your yard. A regular schedule, weekly or every other week, costs less per unit than a one-time catch-up after months of buildup. We can work in the evening or early morning so trucks are not off the road during shift hours.

Keeping wash water out of the river

The Nueces River flows through southern Cotulla. Water from a truck wash carries oil, grease and sediment, and we do not let it run off the yard into ditches or the river. For yards with frequent washes we plan containment, such as berms and water recovery, so wash water can be collected and disposed of properly. For a single pickup on a home driveway, aiming runoff onto grass or gravel is usually enough. Ask us about what fits your site before we start.

Equipment yards, shops and motels

RV parks, crew housing, motels and shop buildings in an oil town all have concrete that takes a beating from diesel, hydraulic fluid and tire marks. We use a surface cleaner on concrete pads so they come out even rather than striped, and pretreat oil spots before washing. Motel walkways, stair treads and dumpster areas can be put on a recurring plan.

Homes in Cotulla

The 2020 census counted 1,683 housing units in Cotulla, and the homeowner vacancy rate was only 1.2%, meaning almost every owner-occupied home is lived in. Our house washing is a low-pressure soft wash for stucco, siding and brick. We also clean driveways, roofs, fences and patios, and can wash a family's pickup the same visit.

Clay soils and dusty concrete

La Salle County's southeastern half has cracking clay soils, and the rest is mostly loam over clay. When that dirt dries, wind and traffic carry it onto every flat surface. Dust that sits on a driveway can bake in during summer, which is why a pre-soak matters before we start cleaning concrete. Cotulla has hit 116°F, most recently in June 2023, so summer cleanings start early.

What to Know About Cotulla

  • From ranch town to shale town. Cotulla's economy moved from farming to ranching, hunting leases and then petroleum and natural gas during the Eagle Ford Shale boom, which slowed sharply by fall 2015 when fuel prices dropped.
  • Record heat. Cotulla's all-time high of 116°F was reached on June 28, 1902, and again on June 19 and 21, 2023. Average annual precipitation is 21.68 inches.
  • River through town. The Nueces River flows through southern Cotulla and drains most of La Salle County, so runoff from wash bays and yards is worth controlling.
  • Tight owner housing. Of 1,683 housing units counted in 2020, 23.1% were vacant overall, yet the homeowner vacancy rate was just 1.2%, while the rental vacancy rate was 20.0%.
  • A railroad founding. Joseph Cotulla donated 120 acres to the railroad in 1881. A depot followed in 1882 and Cotulla became the county seat by special election in 1883.

Cotulla Questions

Can you wash oilfield trucks on our yard in Cotulla?

Yes. We bring pressure equipment and degreasers to your yard and plan water supply with you. For frequent washing we plan containment and water recovery, so tell us how many units you have and what surface the yard is.

Do you offer recurring fleet plans?

We do. Weekly or every-other-week visits are common for fleets, and the per-unit price is typically lower than a one-time wash because the mud does not get months to harden.

Is washing a house in Cotulla's summer heat a problem?

It can be if it is done midday. Cleaning solution dries quickly on hot walls. We start house washes early and work around the shade so the walls stay wet until they are rinsed.

Can you get drilling mud stains off a concrete driveway?

Most mud lifts with a pre-soak and surface cleaner. Oil and fluid stains that soaked in may lighten rather than vanish. We test a spot and tell you what to expect.
