Water tanks play a critical role in ensuring a reliable supply of clean water for various needs, including fire protection and potable water. Regular water tank inspections are key to ensuring the water stays sterile. Through regular inspection, you can maintain your water tank’s integrity, safety, and performance.
At Franklin Hodge we offer a thorough water tank inspection service, helping your business avoid costly repairs and ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
Why Are Regular Inspections Important?
Regardless of whether you use your tank for fire protection, potable water or industrial processes, all tanks are exposed to environmental conditions that can cause them to deteriorate over time.
Corrosion, sediment build-up and leaks can damage the structural integrity of the tank, also leaving the water vulnerable to contamination. But, through regular inspection, we can detect these issues early, meaning they can be repaired before they cause more significant damage.

Our water tank inspection service includes a visual assessment of the interior and exterior of the tank. We check for any problems with the structural integrity and any signs of leaks. We’ll also give you practical advice for cleaning and maintaining your tanks.
How do I know if my water tank needs an inspection?
Look for signs of visible corrosion on the exterior of the tank and those parts of the interior visible from the ball valve inspection hatch, water discolouration or a sudden decrease in water pressure. You might also notice strange noises coming from the tank. That being said, even if there are no signs of trouble, you should still arrange regular inspections to prolong the lifespan of your water tank. This will ensure you spot any minor issues before they turn into major ones, that could end up with your business needing a completely new tank.
