Know what is happening inside your tank

Practical inspections. Useful reports. Confident maintenance decisions.

Texas water tank inspections should do more than check a box. Industrial Inspection Companies helps utilities, municipalities, water districts, facility teams, and asset owners document visible conditions, prioritize tank maintenance, and plan the next step with confidence.

We inspect ground storage tanks, elevated water towers, standpipes, pressure tanks, and other potable water tank and water storage tank assets. When the project allows, underwater inspections with a submersible remotely operated vehicle can capture tank interior video and condition data while reducing the operational burden associated with draining a tank.

Texas inspection considerations

Support for annual inspections and long-term asset planning

Texas public water systems must have each ground, elevated, and pressure tank inspected annually by system personnel or a contracted inspection service under TCEQ requirements in 30 TAC §290.46(m)(1). Our team can provide professional field inspection and documentation support as part of your system’s compliance and maintenance program.

System owners and operators remain responsible for confirming the required scope, recordkeeping, and regulatory compliance for each facility.

  • Roof, hatch, vent, overflow, screens, gaskets, and access points
  • Evidence of leakage, corrosion, pitting, coating failures, cathodic protection concerns, or distress on tank walls
  • Interior and exterior visible condition observations
  • Sediment buildup, debris, or other foreign material when observable
  • Instrumentation, controls, and safety-related components in scope
  • Pressure devices and air-to-water conditions where applicable

Choose the right approach

Inspection options based on access, condition, and operational needs

ROV interior inspection

Our remotely operated vehicles capture live video and imagery inside the tank. This ROV inspection method can help evaluate submerged surfaces and sediment while the tank remains in service when site conditions and project requirements permit.

Exterior condition assessment

Document visible coating condition, corrosion, leaks, appurtenances, access points, foundation areas, and other exterior components included in the agreed scope.

Drained or direct-access inspection

When close visual access, cleaning, repair planning, or hands-on evaluation is required, we can help define an inspection approach suited to the asset and shutdown plan.

Built around Texas operating realities

From heat and drought cycles to storms and corrosion exposure

Texas water storage assets face widely different environments—from humid Gulf Coast conditions to high heat, intense sun, wind-driven storms, dust, and broad temperature swings. Those conditions can accelerate coating wear, corrosion, seal deterioration, and weather-related damage.

Our inspectors focus on collecting consistent field evidence so your team can distinguish routine maintenance from developing concerns. The goal is a usable condition record—not alarmist language or a generic checklist.

Projects we support

  • Municipal utilities and public water systems
  • Water supply corporations and districts
  • Industrial and manufacturing facilities
  • Hospitals, campuses, and institutional facilities
  • Engineering firms and asset managers
  • Owners planning rehabilitation or coating work

A straightforward process

From project scope to decision-ready report

1. Define the objective

We confirm tank type, location, operating constraints, known concerns, access conditions, and the documentation your team needs.

2. Inspect and document

Our qualified inspectors complete the agreed visual or ROV inspection and capture organized photographs, video, and observations.

3. Review the findings

You receive a clear inspection report that helps your team discuss maintenance priorities, further evaluation, water tank cleaning, disinfection, or tank repairs—and address developing issues before they require costly repairs.

Common questions

Texas water tank inspection FAQs

How often should a public water system tank be inspected in Texas?

TCEQ rules require each ground, elevated, and pressure tank in a public water system to be inspected annually by water system personnel or a contracted inspection service. Requirements can change, so confirm the current rule and recordkeeping expectations for your system.

Can you inspect a water tank without draining it?

Often, yes. An underwater ROV can document many interior conditions while the tank remains in service, subject to tank configuration, water quality protocols, site access, and the goals of the inspection.

What types of tanks do you inspect?

We support inspections of elevated tanks, ground storage tanks, standpipes, pressure tanks, and related potable water storage assets. We will review the tank and objective before recommending an approach.

Do you provide a written report?

Yes. The agreed deliverables can include photographs, video, observed condition notes, and an organized inspection report for your maintenance and planning records.

Do you serve all of Texas?

We evaluate projects across Texas. Contact us with the facility location, tank type, and preferred timeline so we can confirm scheduling and project requirements.
