Regular, professional inspections are essential for identifying potential risks that could compromise your silo's performance and longevity. Inspections should encompass a thorough examination of both the exterior and interior of the silo, whenever possible. Externally, inspectors look for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, rust, or corrosion, which can indicate underlying structural issues. When a silo inspection is bundled with a silo cleaning, inspectors are able to visualize the full interior and check common areas of failure, such as roof beam pockets. These methods provide a comprehensive view of the silo's condition, allowing for precise and targeted maintenance actions. Engaging professional services not only ensures a thorough examination but also provides documented reports that can be used for future reference and compliance purposes.
 
When to Schedule a Silo Inspection
 
Timely action is crucial at the first sign of production or structural issues. While it is essential to have regular silo inspections, following through with the recommended maintenance is just as crucial. Postponing maintenance can lead to more extensive and costly repairs. Proactive maintenance includes addressing minor issues as they are identified, preventing them from becoming major problems that could compromise safety and operational efficiency. This approach helps extend the life of the silo and maintain its performance, ensuring it continues to operate safely and reliably.
 
In short, regular and comprehensive inspections are essential for identifying and rectifying structural deficiencies in silos. By detecting potential hazards early and taking prompt action, professionals can reduce the likelihood of catastrophic failures and uphold the integrity of their silos. This preventive maintenance strategy helps secure the long-term safety, efficacy, and financial viability of your bulk storage silos.

If a silo blockage is left unattended, it can cause damage to silo walls, resulting in costly repairs and downtime. While clearing the blockage is critical, the waste management process is equally important. Once all the material buildup is removed from your silo or bin, that material has to go somewhere.
 

What do you do when silo issues have resulted in lost material that must be discarded?

When you look for a professional silo cleaning company, it is best to look for one that offers comprehensive silo services, including vacuum truck services. These companies have the expertise and equipment to handle the removal and disposal of waste materials. Once USA Silo Services finishes a silo cleaning, we're able to evaluate and assess the recovered material to determine if it can be used for sale. Anything determined to be waste material is vacuumed up and properly disposed of. This can help minimize your environmental impact and could offer cost savings through material reuse.
