Keeping Your Water Tanks Clean
Hidden Bacteria
Bacteria and other contaminates can get a foothold in the sediment out of reach of the chlorine or other treatment chemicals entering the tank. Hidden in the sediment the bacteria can then grow and flourish creating a health risk. A nitrate eating bacteria can even deplete your chlorine levels leaving you at even greater risk.
Maintain a Healthy Water System
Removing the sediment and keeping your tank clean is the best way to maintain a healthy water system. The traditional method of cleaning tanks involves taking the tank out of service for several days while the sediment is removed with buckets and shovels. Dewatering the sediment often results in a much harder substance to remove requiring it to be broken up and chipped away often at the expense of the painted floor of the tank. Using our modern technology, potable water storage tanks may now be cleaned while they remain full of water with little disruption in service saving you time and money.
Keeping Your Tanks Clean
Keeping your water storage tanks clean may be one of the most overlooked maintenance procedures in the drinking water industry. Out of sight and out of mind, sediment in the bottom of your water storage tanks is never seen and rarely thought of. The sediment that builds up in almost all potable water tanks can be a habitat for bacteria and other contaminates like cryptosporidium that devastated the city of Milwaukee in the spring of 1993.

Potable/Non-potable Tank Inspection, Cleaning and Repair
- Tank Inspection Services
Do you DRAIN your tanks to have them inspected or cleaned?
With Advanced Diving Services you don't have to!
When we inspect your tank, we do so with the utmost care and concern. We use both digital photos and narrated DVD to show you the conditions inside and outside the tank, both above and below water. We inspect the cathodic protection component, do pit and blister analysis, corrosion estimates, and we also inspect hatch, vent and ladder conditions. We cover all points per state regulations and follow all AWWA standards closely. When the inspection is complete, we provide you with the digital pictures, narrated DVD, and a written report on conditions and recommendations to remedy any problems. Remember, Advanced Diving Services can take care of any of your tank needs WITHOUT draining your tank, saving you both time and money!

Our patent pending Hydro-Vac produces no turbidity while the diver is in the process of cleaning the tanks and removing sediment. This process saves you money, water and time! Paul Walker states, "It's the most effective way to remove sediment from water storage facilities" and "their process actually removes protozoa spores that can deplete chlorine reserves and potentially cause other, more severe, health problems." So keep your community and your own family safe by cleaning and inspecting your tanks regular!

The ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) is very effective for inspecting potable water tanks. The submersible unit "swims" through the tank via propellers and surveys the roof, seams, standpipes, and cables. Its camera captures footage while robotic grippers can take samples of corrosion. The ROV makes tank inspections safer, more affordable and, therefore, can be done more frequently. The ROV performs with the same inspection quality as would the services of a diver. The ROV is submersed into disinfectant as per AWWA regulations and guidelines before being lowered into the potable water tank or standpipe. It uses a 250-300 foot tether and is manipulated through the water by a trained ROV operator.
