Tank Cleaning
Tank Cleaning
For over 20 years, NFPA 25 Inspections by American Tanks has been the go-to company for industrial tank cleaning and sludge removal, serving businesses across Las Vegas and beyond.
Let’s face it, cleaning industrial tanks is a tough job. It’s messy, sometimes dangerous, and requires a team of trained professionals. Even cleaning simple water tanks can be tricky. Removing built-up chemicals from steel surfaces is a complex and time-consuming process.
In some cases, older tanks might be too risky to clean. That’s why NFPA 25 Inspections by American Tanks recommends contacting our expert staff for an assessment before any decontamination project. We can help you determine the safest and most effective approach for your specific needs.
Our Tank Cleaning Processes
- After draining and flushing the tank, our team at NFPA 25 Inspections by American Tanks carefully removes the liner to access all internal surfaces. We then thoroughly assess the condition of the walls, floor, and roof interior to determine the exact cleaning scope required.
- At NFPA 25 Inspections by American Tanks, we don't just clean tanks, we revitalize them! After high-pressure washing restores your tank surfaces to pristine hygiene, our team's extensive experience comes into play. We're experts at removing hazardous residue from fuel and oil tanks, and we can handle any cleaning project, from potable water systems to fire suppression lines. Our advanced equipment tackles every nook and cranny, including large pipes, flanges, and fittings.
- Our high-pressure cleaning doesn't stop at the tank itself! We also use it to thoroughly wash down external surfaces, including attached platforms, stairways, and safety components like railings. Grime buildup on these access points can quickly turn into a safety hazard for both your staff and visitors. We eliminate that risk by ensuring everything is clean and slip-free.
- Following this, liner membranes are reinstalled, leaving your tanks ready for their next refill.
In addition to their regular cleaning and degreasing services, NFPA 25 Inspections by American Tanks offers steam thawing solutions for frozen pipes and drains. Their equipment can handle frozen lines and other components.
Achieving Goals Safely
Our tank cleaning process is thorough and strategic. We develop a customized plan for each project, considering the unique condition and configuration of each tank. Some tanks require more planning and effort due to their complexity.
