Routine inspections can ensure your tank operates at its best for many years. Bluewater offers a full range of services including exterior drone inspections, full interior ROV inspections, and cathodic protection testing. Usually these inspections can be completed while your tank remains ONLINE and IN SERVICE.
Each inspection also comes with a complete report of all findings and a predictive maintenance schedule to help plan and budget. Our professional team has been building and inspecting tanks for 35+ years and can not only foresee potential issues but can complete repairs and upgrades.

Less Downtime
Our professional maintenance team can perform most inspections and cleanings while your tanks remain CONNECTED and IN USE. If any issues are detected our team can help you plan the downtime to minimize disruptions.
Our Experience
We have built tanks across Michigan. Our team knows how to build and maintain tanks, and can see beyond the obvious during inspections. Plus, our team can help plan for or immediately resolve any issues that may be present.
Municipalities should have a Water Quality and Asset Management Plan for their water storage tanks.
Bluewater’s Service Team can create a comprehensive 10 to 50 year Asset Management Plan for you. The report will outline the timing of inspections, cleanings, cathodic protection testing and replacement schedule. In addition, our plans contain the costs related to each service, by year, to help you plan your budget, or downtime, if necessary. All of our recommendations take into account AWWA standards and manufacturers’ standards.
