What is a Water Storage Tank Inspection and Do You Need One?

Water storage tanks provide essential potable or non-potable water to private businesses, industry, or entire communities, so it’s essential that they’re well-maintained and regularly inspected and cleaned.

Tank Vision provides comprehensive water tank inspection and cleaning services for our valued clients that ensure water quality, safety and hygiene, as well as meeting regulatory requirements. But what exactly does a water storage tank inspection entail and do you really need to get it done?

Types of Tanks We Inspect

The qualified and experienced technicians at Tank Vision specialise in water storage tank installation, design, as well as inspection and cleaning services. We can assist with the inspection of various water tanks, including:

  • Water tanks: maintain adequate water quality and standards compliance with our thorough and comprehensive water tank inspection services.
  • Fire water tanks: firefighters require adequate pressure in order to address emergencies, so fire water tanks must be up to spec and have all valves and fittings working properly to comply with fire safety regulations.

No matter the size or configuration of your water storage tank, our technicians at Tank Vision have the skill and expertise needed to safely and thoroughly inspect it.

Why is Tank Inspection Necessary?

Water storage tanks, no matter how well-designed, are prone to faults and failures over time and if neglected. Routine inspections not only ensure that any issues are caught and resolved sooner rather than later (which can save substantial amounts of money), as well as ensuring that the tank is in full compliance with Australian regulations and standards for safety.

Tank inspection is an essential component of risk mitigation for private owners and councils and municipalities that may own and operate the tank on a daily basis. Inspections accurately pinpoint any potential hazards, wear and tear such as corrosion or structural damage, or leaks that may be present.

Routine inspections are also essential for regulatory compliance, and many industries using water storage tanks may be subjected to more stringent standards and regulations for tank inspections than others. This is essential for workplace safety, public health, and environmental protection.

Furthermore, routine tank inspections help to prolong the lifespan and value of your water tank. By identifying potential issues sooner rather than later, owners can arrange for remedial repairs and replacement of key components such as valves and fittings.

Water Storage Tank Inspection & Cleaning Services

Water tank inspection goes hand in hand with tank cleaning services. Much like how private homeowners in residential areas of Australia may depend on septic tank inspections every so often, septic tank companies often double up this service with a thorough cleaning.

Likewise, water storage tank cleaning often accompanies an inspection. This may be required every year or couple of years, or perhaps more frequently if government regulations require more frequent inspections and/or cleaning.

Tank Vision can inspect and clean water storage tanks using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, compile all necessary documentation and reporting, and give you peace of mind that your water storage tank is in the stated condition.
