Consistent Water Tower Painting Extends Tank Life

Regularly painting water tanks, as part of a water tower maintenance program, prolongs the life of any tank by helping to prevent corrosion and problems caused by weather, pollutants and other external elements. Southern Corrosion makes maintaining any water tank easy with affordable maintenance programs.

Steel tanks that are properly protected by a comprehensive painting program have no limit to their longevity. Many properly maintained water tanks are over 100 years old and are still in service.

Concrete tanks can also benefit from painting. One of the best ways to stop or prevent future leaks in a concrete tank is to paint the interior water bearing surfaces of the tank. The benefits of painting a concrete tank are not confined to the interior surfaces. Concrete tank exteriors, especially the tank roofs, are exposed to rain. Concrete is alkaline and when exposed to rain water with a PH of between 5.4 to 5.7, the concrete surfaces can weather and deteriorate over time. Painting the concrete can provide a protective barrier between the concrete and rain water, maximizing the lifespan of the tank.
