Why Tank Liner Maintenance Should Be on Your Radar
When it comes to managing industrial or municipal facilities, infrastructure maintenance often starts with the visible—but what about the parts you can’t see? Tank liner maintenance is one of the most overlooked aspects of facility upkeep, yet it’s one of the most critical. A compromised tank liner can lead to a host of costly issues: corrosion, leaks, contamination, and even equipment failure.
At Colorado Coating Pros, we help facilities stay proactive. With over 50 years of experience, we know how to detect early warning signs, restore liner integrity, and recommend long-term solutions that keep systems running smoothly.
What Can Go Wrong Without Proper Maintenance?
Tank liners are built to last—but not forever. Over time, exposure to chemicals, fluctuating temperatures, moisture, and pressure degrade even the toughest liners. If you wait too long, you’re not just dealing with a maintenance issue; you’re facing potential regulatory violations, safety concerns, and service interruptions.
Signs your tank liner might need attention:
- Discoloration, blisters, or peeling
- Corrosion or rust visible around seams or joints
- Unusual odors or contamination in stored materials
- Unexplained drops in water or fluid levels
We touched on this in our blog, Epoxy Lining: The Key to Long-Lasting Tank Protection, where epoxy lining isn’t just about installation—it’s about ongoing upkeep.
Our Maintenance Approach
Our process is simple, but thorough:
- Inspection – We assess the tank’s condition using visual checks and non-invasive testing.
- Surface Prep – If damage is found, we use mobile sand blasting for deep cleaning and surface preparation.
- Re-lining – Depending on the tank’s use, we apply the most suitable coating: epoxy lining, VOC-compliant, or chemical-resistant coatings.
This approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re dealing with potable water tanks, chemical storage, or food-grade containers, we tailor our materials and methods to your specific needs.
Prevention is More Affordable Than Repair
Regular maintenance might feel like an expense, but it’s far cheaper than emergency repairs, environmental cleanup, or equipment replacement. Our clients who follow a proactive maintenance schedule report fewer disruptions, better safety compliance, and longer service life of their tanks.
