Prepping a Potable Water
Storage Tank is the Critical First Step
To Ensure a Long Lasting Result.

Potable Water Storage Tanks



From start to finished, your water tank painting project will be completed on time and on budget.

Water Storage Tanks

What is takes to safely and thoroughly resurface a water storage tank inside and out:


    You can use the best coating/paint products in the world, but if the surface is not prepared properly before the

application, premature failure of the coating and deterioration of the substrate metal is inevitable. Our Tank Coating

Specialists study each project and determine the optimum approach to surface preparation based on site specific

conditions such as tank materials, existing corrosion, humidity and other environmental conditions.
    At time extensive abrasive methods, primarily sandblasted, may be needed to remove corrosion, rust, or other

destructive situations.


_____________________________________________________________________________________________
    Professional storage or water tank cleaning has substantial impacts with regard to maintaining the physical
structure and reliability of the tanks. Over a period of time, bacteria, dirt, mildew and mold may cause the
tower's paint surface to crack, peel and flake. All of which leads to rust forming on the surface which will
eventually weaken the structure of the tank. Mannix Painting specializes in storage and water tank cleaning to
help prevent such damage.
    Mannix Painting cleans and safely remove bacteria, dirt, mold and mildew stains on the exterior and interior
sides of water towers and water storage tanks using sand blasting & pressure washing technology. After which
we apply special coatings and standard industry compliant chemicals before putting the tank back in service.
We use epoxy, polyurethane, enamel and zinc paints from Sherwin Williams or Tnemec Coatings.
The professional painting contractor's expertise protects a tank both inside and out.

Information You Need:

    

    One of the first questions to ask when hiring a storage tank painting contractor is whether they understand

which types of paints will be needed to complete the job successfully. The types of coatings can vary depending

upon the tank. If a company plans to attach magnetic signs to a storage tank that is not metal, special paint

with magnetic properties will have to be used.

    If a company plans to have their advertising slogan painted directly By discussing these types of scenarios

with a prospective contractor, the client can get a much better idea as to the contractor’s knowledge of the job.

A truly qualified professional will be able to offer sound advice so that the customer can make a wise

advertising investment.

Damage Signs to Look For

      Steel tanks can be susceptible to corrosion. Once a sign of rust arises
under the steel tank’s protective coating, its integrity can be comprised.
Our industrial painters and sandblasters have decades of experience and
know how to deal with these types of problems to maximize the useful life
of the vessel.
      Whether it’s sandblasting the interior of your water tower and
applying a high performance epoxy or plural component coating system or
erecting swing stage scaffolding and over coating the exterior, Mannix
Painting will provide exceptional service.
     Mannix Painting's skilled industrial painting teams are trained to work in
confined spaces, use scaffolding, are routinely educated to follow proper
safety procedures.    


   
References

    Positive references are another strong sign to consider when looking for storage tank painting contractors. A
qualified professional should be able to offer references from previous clients. If previous jobs have been completed
successfully and to clients’ expectations, a  contractor should be able to refer a customer to those clients for positive
recommendations. Please check out Mannix Painting's tank references on the "About Us" web page.

    


Insurance


    Current, appropriate commercial insurance is essential. Contractors should refer you directly to their Insurance

Agent for confirmation of coverage.
