Water Tank Maintenance to the Industry Standard
AWWA tank repairs are inspection, maintenance, repair, and recoating services performed on water storage tanks in accordance with American Water Works Association standards — the benchmark that governs how potable and industrial water tanks are built, coated, and maintained.
Water storage tanks work every day of their lives, and their coatings are the only thing standing between stored water and corroding steel. Allied Industrial Services inspects, repairs, and recoats welded steel water tanks for cities, counties, utility districts, and industrial owners — restoring corrosion protection inside and out, and keeping tanks compliant with AWWA standards and applicable regulations.
Because Allied is also a certified lead abatement contractor, we're equipped for the legacy tanks that make other bidders hesitate: older water tanks with lead-based coatings can be abated, prepared, and recoated by one crew, under one project plan — the same project-management-driven delivery Allied brings to every job.
Our Capabilities
Water Tank Services
Inspection & Condition Assessment
Coating and condition evaluations that tell you what your tank actually needs — targeted repairs, spot recoating, or full rehabilitation — before you commit budget.
Interior Relining
Removal of failed interior coatings and installation of new lining systems appropriate for potable or industrial water service, restoring the barrier that protects both water quality and steel.
Exterior Recoating
Surface preparation and exterior coating systems that stop atmospheric corrosion and keep the tank presentable — often the most visible asset a utility owns.
AWWA-Compliant Repairs
Repairs and maintenance performed to AWWA standards for water tanks in municipal service, chemical manufacturing, and wastewater treatment applications.
Lead Abatement on Legacy Tanks
Certified removal of lead-based coatings from older water tanks — with containment, compliant waste handling, and recoating handled by the same crew in one mobilization.
Municipal & Utility Support
Ongoing support for city, county, and utility district clients — water tank maintenance, wastewater facility coatings, and AWWA-compliant repairs, scheduled around your system's demands.

Common Questions
AWWA Tank Repair FAQs
What does "AWWA-compliant" mean for tank repair?
The American Water Works Association publishes the standards that govern how welded steel water tanks are designed, coated, inspected, and maintained. AWWA-compliant repair means the work — from surface preparation to coating selection and application — follows those standards, so your tank meets the benchmark that regulators, engineers, and water utilities recognize.
Do you work with municipalities and utility districts?
Yes. Allied regularly supports city, county, and utility district clients — especially with water tank maintenance, wastewater facility coatings, and AWWA-compliant repairs. We understand public-sector procurement, and as a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Allied can also help agencies meet diversity contracting goals.
Our tank was painted decades ago — could it have lead-based coatings?
Quite possibly. Water tanks coated before modern lead restrictions frequently carry lead-based paint, and disturbing it without certified abatement creates health and regulatory risks. Allied confirms lead presence through testing, and as a certified lead abatement contractor, we can abate, prepare, and recoat the tank in a single project — no second contractor required.
Can you recoat the interior of a potable water tank?
Yes. Interior relining of potable water tanks uses coating systems appropriate for drinking water service — potable applications typically require products certified to standards such as NSF/ANSI 61 — applied over properly prepared surfaces so the new lining protects both water quality and the tank itself.
How often should a water storage tank be inspected or recoated?
Coating life varies with the system, water chemistry, and environment, but regular periodic inspections are the industry norm — they catch coating failure and corrosion early, when spot repairs are still an option. If your tank hasn't been assessed in years, an inspection is the inexpensive first step; Allied can evaluate its condition and tell you honestly whether it needs repairs now or simply a date for the next look.
