FAQs
How often should towers be inspected?
Most facilities benefit from a comprehensive annual inspection plus mid-season checks. Critical assets or harsh environments may require quarterly reviews.
Do you work around production?
Yes. We coordinate with your operations team to inspect during low-load windows and can stage repairs during planned outages.
Can you test water on-site?
We perform targeted on-site checks and can coordinate lab analysis when deeper diagnostics are needed.
What if issues are found?
You’ll get a prioritized plan with clear next steps. Our crew can execute corrective work or support your in-house team.
