At Marietta Silos, we believe a well-maintained silo is not just a structure; it’s a guarantee of safety, longevity, and uninterrupted performance. While trained professionals must perform silo inspections and all structural repairs to prevent silo failure or serious injury, there are still things facility managers can check for regularly.
 
Use this checklist to empower your facility managers to conduct safe, simple visual checks from the exterior and know exactly when it’s time to call our silo experts.
 

Part 1: Exterior Warning Sign Checklist for Facility Managers

Facility managers should perform these visual checks safely from the ground or a securely guarded platform. Your goal is to spot the warning signs that trigger a professional service call.
 
 

Part 2: Structural Inspection & Restoration (Always Call Marietta Silos)

The following tasks require specialized engineering knowledge, non-destructive testing (NDT) tools, or confined space entry training. Marietta Silos professionals must be called for these tasks. Learn more about Marietta Silos Inspection and Restoration services. 
 
 

Keep Your Silo Safe, Reliable, and Ready for Operation

Regular silo maintenance and inspections are essential for protecting your equipment, extending its service life, and preventing unexpected downtime. By routinely checking for visible warning signs and addressing potential problems early, facility managers can help identify issues before they become costly or safety-critical.

However, structural damage, corrosion, cracking, leaks, and other serious concerns require professional evaluation. If your maintenance checklist reveals a potential problem, don’t wait for it to worsen. A professional silo inspection can determine the condition of your structure and identify the right repair or restoration solution.
