Silo maintenance is an often-overlooked, yet critical component to keeping your silo safe and efficient for years to come. Regular silo inspections are the foundation of this necessary silo maintenance. Silo inspection is the most effective, preventive method to ensure concrete and steel structures remain safe and fully operational.

 

Our expert silo inspectors conduct thorough examinations to identify structural vulnerabilities, such as cracks or leaks, before they escalate into major issues. By addressing these concerns promptly, we save you from the hassle and expense of extensive, costly repairs down the road.

 

Just as routine silo inspections are an essential component of your maintenance program, so are regular cleanings. Our sister company, USA Silo Service provides professional silo cleaning services that can be bundled with our silo inspection programs to help you get the most for your money.

When you request a combined service from Marietta Silos, we can also transport equipment and materials to complete small and silo restoration and repairs on-site during the inspection. This allows us to complete silo inspections and repair quickly, safely, and efficiently in one mobilization. Finishing small silo repairs at the same time as your silo inspection reduces additional unplanned downtime and additional trips necessary to get your silo back up and running.

 

Schedule Silo Inspection

 

Although conducting a silo inspection is a positive step, its effectiveness depends on whether you actually follow through with suggested repairs, restoration, or other maintenance for the silo. Minor silo repairs are always less expensive, so the sooner you complete a silo repair, the better.
