Silos are expected to stand proudly on farms to store grain and other products. As they stand tall, they are constantly exposed to the elements – wind, rain, hail, and more of the weather that we experience here in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley area.
Over time, silos end up losing their protective coatings. As this happens, the structure of the silo itself starts to degrade. It can lead to corrosion and other issues – and it can be problematic, especially if you begin to lose grain because of the degradation.
The goal is to focus on the protective coatings. By focusing on a silo painting service, you can prevent deterioration and degradation.

Silo Painting
A silo is a significant investment. Depending on the size and what it has been designed to store, it can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Silos can last for years, but only if you are properly maintaining them.
When exposed to the UV rays of the sun and excessive wind, the original paint coating on the silo can degrade after the first year. Its why protective coatings have to be reapplied.
There are various steps that need to be taken to ensure that you get the result that you can depend on. At Hydro Tech, we can inspect your silo to determine the full process that needs to be performed.
We can provide a high-pressure steam cleaning process to get all pollutants off of the surface of the silo.
