Tank Liners Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia provides certified inspections for commercial and industrial stormwater detention tanks. Our specialists assess tank structures, liners, access points, pipework, outlets, sediment levels, and visible signs of damage.

Each inspection includes clear findings, photographic evidence, and a detailed condition report with practical maintenance recommendations. We deliver professional stormwater tank inspection services across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Stormwater Detention Tank Inspection Service

Our inspection service covers every critical component of your stormwater detention tank to identify defects early and support long-term asset performance.  

Sediment Level Assessment

We measure sediment accumulation and identify when cleaning is recommended to maintain storage capacity and system efficiency. Identified sediment build-up can be addressed through our professional tank cleaning services.

Structural Condition Inspection

We inspect walls, floors, roofs, joints, and support components for cracks, movement, corrosion, and other structural defects. 

Tank Liner Assessment

We assess liner condition for wear, tears, delamination, leaks, and other signs of deterioration affecting tank integrity. 

Inlet and Outlet Inspection

We inspect inlet pipes, outlet structures, overflow systems, and drainage components for blockages or damage. 

Corrosion and Surface Condition

We identify corrosion, coating failures, concrete deterioration, and other issues that may reduce asset lifespan.  

Access Components Inspection

We inspect access covers, ladders, platforms, vents, and safety features for condition and operational safety. 

Leak and Water Ingress Assessment

We identify visible leaks, seepage, and signs of water ingress that may compromise system performance.

Common Problems Found During Stormwater Detention Inspections

Our inspections reveal issues that can reduce tank capacity, disrupt drainage, or accelerate deterioration. Early detection helps prevent larger repairs and unexpected system failures. 

Identified defects can be addressed through our tank maintenance services to restore performance and protect your asset. 

When Should You Schedule a Stormwater Detention Tank Inspection?

Regular inspections help identify issues before they become expensive repairs. If any of the situations below apply, it is time to arrange an inspection. 

SituationWhy an inspection is recommended

Before purchasing or selling a propertyAssess the condition of the stormwater asset.
Visible cracks, leaks, or corrosionConfirm the extent of deterioration.
Poor drainage performanceIdentify blockages or structural issues.
Before planned maintenancePrioritise repairs based on tank condition.
Compliance or asset auditsProvide documented evidence of tank condition.

What is Checked During a Stormwater Tank Inspection

A stormwater detention (OSD) tank inspection typically includes an assessment of key system components, such as: 

Inspection findings are documented to support operational planning and corrective actions where required. 

Inspection Reports and Maintenance Recommendations

Every stormwater tank inspection includes a comprehensive report to help you understand your asset’s condition and plan maintenance with confidence.

Your inspection report includes: 

Our reports provide clear, practical recommendations so you can prioritise maintenance, reduce long-term costs, and keep your stormwater detention tank operating reliably. 

Stormwater Detention Drone Tank Inspections

Stormwater detention drone tank inspections provide detailed visual access to difficult or unsafe areas without unnecessary tank entry. Tank Liners Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia uses inspection drones to capture clear internal footage and identify visible defects efficiently. 

Drone tank inspections can reduce access requirements, minimise disruption, and support safer inspection planning. All findings are included in a detailed condition report with photographs and practical maintenance recommendations. 

Underground Stormwater Detention Tank Inspections

Many stormwater detention tanks are installed below ground, making regular inspections essential for identifying hidden defects and maintaining reliable system performance. 

Safe Access Planning

We assess site conditions and determine the safest inspection method for each underground tank.

Internal Condition Assessments

Our team inspects structural components, liners, pipework, sediment levels, and visible signs of deterioration.

Drone-Assisted Inspections

Where suitable, drone technology allows us to inspect confined spaces while reducing the need for tank entry. 

Detailed inspection reporting

Every underground tank inspection includes photographic evidence, condition findings, and practical maintenance recommendations.  

Whether your underground stormwater tank serves a commercial, industrial, or public facility, our team delivers reliable inspection services across Melbourne and Victoria.
