Across Canada, aging water tanks are quietly accumulating sediment, corrosion, and becoming risks. For municipalities and facility operators alike, staying ahead of water tank inspection and cleaning cycles is a key preventative measure to protect water quality, meet regulations, and extend your tanks life.
Canada’s storage infrastructure is aging fast, with many tanks now operating well past their original design life. Left unchecked, sediment buildup, corrosion, or internal coating failures can compromise water quality and safety. Yet many facilities delay water tank inspections, assuming tanks are “fine” until a major issue surfaces.
Regular inspection and cleaning of your water tanks are proactive steps that protect public health, minimize costly repairs, and extend asset life. Greatario helps municipalities and facility managers take control of their maintenance strategy with professional inspections, certified cleaning crews, and practical next-step reporting.
Our water tank inspection and cleaning programs help reduce risk, improve water quality, and extend the life of your infrastructure. Whether your facility requires an internal review, drone scan, or corrosion protection testing, our certified team delivers trusted results, often while the storage tank remains in service.
When water storage tanks are offline for maintenance, we conduct a full inspection of:
These inspections help identify internal corrosion, weld degradation, and mechanical wear. A detailed report includes images and next-step recommendations tailored to your tank type.
We use ROVs to complete interior water tank inspections while tanks stay in use. This service is ideal for potable water systems and helps evaluate internal coating condition, sediment accumulation, and the performance of cathodic protection components, without draining the tank.
Using drones equipped with high-resolution 4K cameras, we can assess:
These storage tank inspections avoid the risks and costs of scaffolding and enable clear, visual documentation for compliance, insurance, or maintenance planning.
Steel tanks need corrosion control to prevent structural failure. We provide cathodic protection testing and external system assessments to ensure your anodes are functioning properly. Our team also recommends replacements where needed to maintain long-term performance.
Canada Wide Coverage
Our teams work coast-to-coast, supporting municipal and industrial clients across Canada.
In-Service Capabilities
Most tanks can be inspected while they stay in service so there is no need for shutdown.
Trusted Expertise
We’ve been building, inspecting and maintaining tanks since 1986.
Clear Reporting
Every inspection includes a detailed report with photos, findings, and straightforward next-step recommendations.
Industry guidelines, including those from AWWA, recommend a full water tank inspection every 3 to 5 years. For older tanks or high-use systems, more frequent inspections may be needed to catch early signs of wear or contamination.
Yes. Greatario offers in-service storage tank inspection using ROVs and certified divers. This allows many inspections and even some cleaning to be done without draining or shutting down the tank.
Cathodic protection helps prevent corrosion in steel tanks. Our cathodic protection testing evaluates whether your anode rods are still working as they are meant to, helping to extend the life of your tank and prevent costly repairs.
Every inspection includes a detailed report with high-resolution photos, structural assessments, coating evaluations, and clear next-step recommendations, whether that means continued monitoring, cleaning, repairs, or replacement planning.
