Water Tank Painting & Wastewater Coatings
Protective coatings and linings for water storage tanks, wastewater treatment facilities, clarifiers, digesters, and municipal infrastructure.
MPC provides water tank painting, potable and process-water tank lining, wastewater tank coating, clarifier coating, digester lining, and related infrastructure coating services across Ohio and throughout the United States.
Our interior lining services protect against corrosion, contamination, abrasion, and the harsh chemical and biological conditions found in water and wastewater environments. Exterior coatings guard against weathering, UV damage, and atmospheric corrosion.
We work with municipalities, utilities, treatment plants, and industrial operations to plan coating systems around water chemistry, substrate condition, outage windows, confined-space requirements, and inspection documentation.

Interior Water Tank Lining Options
We match interior water tank linings to potable water, process water, concrete reservoirs, steel tanks, and maintenance-window requirements.
- Epoxy linings for potable and process-water applications
- Polyurethane linings where flexibility and impact resistance are needed
- Vinyl ester liners for harsher chemical exposure
- Polyurea tank liners for fast-cure, seamless application
- Cementitious liners for concrete tanks and reservoirs
- Zinc systems for steel tank corrosion protection
Wastewater Infrastructure We Service
We coat and line wastewater treatment infrastructure exposed to moisture, abrasion, hydrogen sulfide, chemicals, and biological activity.
- Fermenters
- Digesters
- Sludge Thickener Tanks
- Clarifiers
- Containment Tanks
- Denitrification Pools
- Distribution Tanks
- Rake Assemblies
- Collection Systems
- Pump Houses
Wastewater Tank Coating & Lining Systems
Wastewater coatings are selected for immersion, chemical exposure, abrasion, concrete or steel substrate, and facility downtime requirements.
- Epoxy liners for abrasion-resistant wastewater service
- Polyurea liners for fast cure and high flexibility
- Glass-mat reinforced linings for secondary containment and crack bridging
- Vinyl ester linings for acid and chemical resistance
- Holiday testing and inspection documentation when required
Project Planning for Utilities
Water and wastewater coating projects are planned around facility operations, access, containment, cure time, and inspection needs.
- Condition assessment before coating-system selection
- Coordination with operators for isolation and outage windows
- Surface preparation for steel, concrete, and previously coated assets
- Repair options for localized lining damage where feasible
- Closeout documentation for maintenance and warranty records
Our Process
Inspection & Assessment
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
Proper surface prep is the foundation of a lasting coating. We blast surfaces to the required SSPC profile to ensure maximum adhesion.
Our SSPC-certified crews apply the specified coating or lining system in controlled layers, verifying thickness and conditions at every stage.
We perform a thorough final inspection, provide documentation, and hand off a tank prepared for years of service.
The MPC Difference
Why Choose Markley's Precision
Nationwide Tank Painting & Lining
Ohio-based crews serving industrial, municipal, agricultural, and fuel storage sites across the United States.
Over 5,000 Tanks Restored
Decades of experience restoring storage tanks, silos, pressure vessels, and related containment assets.
Preferred Industrial Contractor
Trusted partner for commercial, industrial, utility, and agricultural tank coating projects nationwide.
Safety-First Tank Crews
Project planning accounts for site hazards, access, containment, confined-space needs, and operating schedules.
Long-Term Coating Warranties
Coating and lining systems are selected for the stored product, exposure, surface profile, and service life target.
Downtime-Conscious Scheduling
Exterior tank coating can often be planned around active facilities; interior lining work is scheduled for efficient outage windows.
Silica-Free Surface Prep
We use environmentally responsible, silica-free blasting materials and containment practices matched to the site.
Mobile Crews Across the USA
Our team brings equipment, materials, and site controls to your facility, tank farm, utility site, or rural operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Where potable water contact applies, we use interior lining systems selected for NSF/ANSI 61 requirements and the tank owner's specification. We confirm the stored water, substrate, cure requirements, and application conditions before recommending a system.
A properly applied water tank coating system can often last 15 to 20 years for exterior coatings and 10 to 15 years for interior linings. Lifespan depends on water chemistry, exposure, surface preparation, coating selection, and maintenance.
Yes. MPC has extensive experience with elevated water towers, ground storage tanks, and standpipe tanks. Our team is trained and equipped for high-elevation work, with all necessary safety certifications and fall protection systems.
Yes. Many municipalities and organizations want a logo, town name, or custom graphics on their water tower. We can include lettering and finish-color planning as part of the exterior water tank painting scope.
Wastewater environments involve harsh chemicals, hydrogen sulfide gas, biological activity, abrasion, and constant moisture. We use specialized systems such as epoxy, vinyl ester, reinforced linings, and polyurea coatings selected for the specific tank and exposure.
All our crews are confined space entry certified and follow strict OSHA protocols. We perform atmospheric testing, establish ventilation, and maintain rescue-ready standby personnel for every interior tank project. Safety is never compromised.
Yes. We regularly work on active facilities, coordinating with plant operators to isolate individual tanks or sections while the rest of the facility continues operating. We plan our work to minimize any disruption to your treatment process.
Project duration depends on tank size, condition, and the lining system selected. A typical municipal clarifier or digester lining project takes 1 to 3 weeks from surface prep to final cure. We provide detailed timelines during the assessment phase.
Yes. This page covers water tank painting, potable and process-water linings, wastewater tank coatings, clarifier coatings, digester linings, containment areas, and related utility infrastructure so the water and wastewater scope stays consolidated instead of split into duplicate pages.
What Our Clients Say
“Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.”
Matt Drennen
“Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!”
Paul Teeters
