ROV Interior Inspection
A disinfected submersible remotely operated vehicle can document submerged surfaces, components, and sediment while reducing the disruption and water loss associated with draining, when conditions permit.

A Water Tank Inspection Should Lead to a Practical Next Step
North Carolina water tank inspections should do more than produce photographs. A useful inspection helps operators understand visible conditions, separate urgent concerns from routine maintenance, and communicate priorities to technical and nontechnical decision-makers.
Industrial Inspection Companies develops the scope around the tank type, access, operating status, known concerns, and the decision your team needs to make. Depending on the asset, options can include exterior observations, in-service ROV inspection, coating-condition documentation, sediment observations, accessible appurtenance review, cathodic-protection observations, and targeted nondestructive testing.
The resulting record organizes photographs, video, locations, and observations so your team can plan maintenance, cleaning, repairs, rehabilitation, engineering review, or additional evaluation with greater confidence.
Standards-aware inspection planning
Support for North Carolina tank owners and operators
North Carolina’s public-water rules reference applicable AWWA standards for elevated tanks, standpipes, towers, paints, coatings, and appurtenances. Hydropneumatic storage tanks are also subject to state pressure-vessel construction and inspection requirements. We help owners define a practical visual, ROV, or direct-access scope while leaving system-specific compliance decisions with the owner and appropriate licensed professionals.

Choose the right approach
Inspection Options Matched to the Asset
Exterior Condition Review
Document accessible coatings, corrosion, leakage, ladders, hatches, vents, overflow components, foundations, and other agreed points of interest.
Direct Access & Targeted NDT
When close access, cleaning, repair planning, or material evaluation is needed, we help define a drained or targeted testing scope suited to the decision.
Built around North Carolina operating conditions
From coastal salt to mountain freeze-thaw cycles
North Carolina water tanks face very different operating environments. Coastal humidity and salt, Piedmont heat and storms, mountain temperature swings, wind, and vegetation can contribute to coating wear, corrosion, seal deterioration, sediment, and weather-related damage.

Your team receives organized observations, photographs, video references, and practical follow-up considerations.
Common questions
North Carolina Water Tank Inspection FAQs
Can a potable water tank be inspected without draining it?
Often, yes. An ROV can document many interior conditions while the tank remains in service. Suitability depends on tank configuration, access, water-system protocols, operating conditions, and the inspection objective.
What does the inspection report include?
The agreed report can include asset information, inspection scope, observed conditions, annotated photographs, video references, location context, areas of concern, and considerations for maintenance or further evaluation.
What types of tanks can you inspect?
We evaluate elevated tanks, ground storage tanks, standpipes, pressure tanks, clearwells, reservoirs, and other potable or process-water storage assets. The appropriate method depends on the asset and project objective.
What standards apply to North Carolina water storage tanks?
The applicable requirements depend on tank type and project purpose. North Carolina rules reference AWWA standards for elevated storage assets and state pressure-vessel requirements for hydropneumatic tanks. Confirm the current requirements with the system owner and appropriate licensed professionals.
How should we prepare for a quote?
Provide the facility location, tank type and capacity, available drawings, last inspection date, known concerns, access information, desired schedule, and whether the tank must remain in service.
Do you serve facilities throughout North Carolina?
We evaluate projects statewide. Mobilization, availability, site requirements, and the exact inspection scope are confirmed during the quote process.
