Uninsulated 10,000 Gallon Tank
Loses 15-25 gallons daily to evaporation in summer
Annual loss: 5,475-9,125 gallons
Temperature Impact
Water temps can reach 95°F+ in uninsulated tanks
Promotes algae growth and reduces water quality
Financial Impact
Water loss costs $500-$2,000/year per tank
Plus increased chemical treatment costs
1. Tank Evaluation
We assess your tank's size, material, condition, and usage patterns to design the optimal solution.
2. Surface Preparation
Thorough cleaning ensures maximum adhesion. We repair any damage before insulation.
3. Foam Application
Professional spray application achieves uniform 2-3 inch thickness for optimal performance.
4. Protective Coating
UV-resistant topcoat protects the foam and provides long-term durability.

Typical Return on Investment
Tank Size | Daily Water Loss (Uninsulated) | Daily Loss (Insulated) | Annual Savings | Typical ROI |
---|---|---|---|---|
5,000 gallons | 10-15 gallons | 2-3 gallons | 2,920-4,380 gallons | 2-3 years |
10,000 gallons | 20-30 gallons | 4-6 gallons | 5,840-8,760 gallons | 2-2.5 years |
20,000 gallons | 35-50 gallons | 7-10 gallons | 10,220-14,600 gallons | 2.5-3 years |
How long does tank insulation take?
Most tanks can be insulated in one day. Larger tanks or multiple tank projects may take 2-3 days. The foam cures quickly, and tanks can be used immediately after application.
Will the insulation affect water quality?
No. Once cured, closed-cell spray foam is completely inert and safe for potable water applications. It actually improves water quality by reducing temperature and algae growth.
How long does tank insulation last?
With proper UV coating, tank insulation lasts 25+ years in Arizona conditions. It's a one-time investment that pays dividends for decades.
Can you insulate tanks that are currently in use?
Yes! We can insulate tanks without draining them. The exterior application doesn't affect the water inside, minimizing disruption to your operations.
