Industrial water tanks are built for strength, volume, and performance—but they’re not built to last forever without care. In fact, the majority of tank failures we see at Expert Tank could have been prevented with routine, professional upkeep.
Whether you’re managing a facility, municipality, or manufacturing plant, your tank isn’t just another asset—it’s mission-critical infrastructure. And when it goes down, so does your operation.
This is why investing in industrial water tank maintenance services isn’t a luxury—it’s risk prevention.
The Real Cost of Neglecting Tank Maintenance
A lot of facilities run tanks until something breaks. By then, it’s already expensive.
Here’s what we commonly see when maintenance is skipped:
-
Internal corrosion that leads to structural failure
-
Contaminated water due to failing liners or bacterial growth
-
Reduced capacity from sediment buildup
-
Failed inspections that bring operations to a halt
-
Leaks that damage surrounding property or equipment
These aren’t distant threats—they’re frequent consequences of tanks that go too long without expert eyes on them.
What Does Industrial Water Tank Maintenance Include?
At Expert Tank, our maintenance services are more than just a “check-up.” We offer a structured, end-to-end care plan that protects your tank from top to bottom.
1. Internal and External Inspections
Using high-resolution cameras and physical inspection techniques, we assess the interior lining, shell integrity, weld seams, roof structure, and base anchoring.
2. Sediment Removal and Cleaning
Sludge and sediment reduce capacity, clog pipes, and accelerate decay. Our team performs safe, efficient tank cleaning—either online or offline depending on your operations.
3. Corrosion Control
We apply anti-corrosion coatings, replace failing anodes, and offer sandblasting or relining where necessary.
4. Leak Detection and Pressure Testing
From hairline cracks to valve failures, our pressure tests and dye tests catch weaknesses before they turn into water loss or full ruptures.
5. Documentation and Reporting
We deliver detailed reports, visual evidence, and repair recommendations—essential for regulatory compliance and insurance documentation.
Who Needs These Services?
If your business relies on a tank with a capacity over 10,000 gallons—or stores water for industrial, fire suppression, irrigation, or processing purposes—you need routine tank maintenance.
Our clients include:
-
Manufacturing plants
-
Power generation facilities
-
Food and beverage companies
-

How Often Should You Schedule Maintenance?
It depends on usage and tank type, but in general:
-
Every 12–24 months for active industrial water tanks
-
Annually if storing potable water or serving critical systems
-
Immediately if the tank hasn’t been serviced in over 2 years or shows signs of damage
Waiting for a problem is always more expensive than preventing one.
