Ven-Tech Subsea LLC, headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, is a leading provider of potable water reservoir inspections services throughout the Gulf Coast and across the state of Texas. We specialize in non-invasive internal inspections of municipal, industrial, and private drinking water storage systems, using a combination of OSHA-compliant commercial diving teams and advanced remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technology. Our services are trusted by cities, engineering firms, utilities, and regulatory agencies who rely on us for accurate, safe, and standards-compliant inspection outcomes.
We inspect a wide range of structures, including elevated storage tanks, ground-level concrete reservoirs, inground clearwells, glass-fused-to-steel tanks, and fire protection reservoirs. All work is performed with strict adherence to disinfection protocols, ensuring that drinking water safety is never compromised. Our teams disinfect all equipment using a 200ppm chlorine solution, maintain full sanitary control procedures, and operate under a zero-contamination methodology at every stage of the project.
With over a decade of industry experience, we’ve built a reputation for delivering detailed, high-resolution inspections that meet the most rigorous performance and health standards. Whether your reservoir requires annual compliance verification, coating assessment, sediment measurement, or a full structural condition report, our experts deliver actionable insights without the need to drain your tank or interrupt service delivery. We help you stay compliant, protect public health, and extend the life of your critical infrastructure—efficiently and affordably.

Why Potable Water Reservoir Inspections Are Critical
Potable water reservoirs are central to safe drinking water delivery. Over time, sediment buildup, corrosion, coating failure, structural damage, and biological growth can compromise the tank’s function and safety. A proactive inspection schedule ensures:
-
Compliance with state and federal health standards
-
Detection of coating failure, sediment, and contamination
-
Prevention of costly repairs or unexpected service outages
-
Documentation for asset management and rehabilitation planning
Ven-Tech Subsea’s inspection services help municipalities and private utilities meet their regulatory obligations and extend the life of their water storage infrastructure.

How We Perform Inspections Without Draining
Our approach is engineered to minimize disruption and protect water quality. We utilize two key methodologies:
✅ Surface-Supplied Commercial Divers
-
Fully certified to OSHA commercial diving regulations
-
Equipment disinfected using 200ppm chlorine solution
-
Zero-impact entry and exit procedures
-
Divers capture full HD/4K internal video footage
-
Sediment, coatings, structural integrity, inlet/outlet structures inspected
✅ Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Inspections
-
Ideal for small, complex, or hazardous tank environments
-
Equipped with HD cameras and sonar for low-visibility mapping
-
Operated from outside the tank—no risk to water quality
-
No confined space entry or human exposure required
-
Integrated with sonar and laser scaling for detailed analysis
Disinfection and Compliance Procedures
All potable water reservoir inspections tank inspections follow strict disinfection and compliance protocols:
-
All gear sanitized with 200ppm chlorine solution
-
Dive equipment never touches the ground prior to disinfection
-
Strict PPE, hygiene, and access control for tank entry
-
Pre- and post-entry disinfection logs maintained
-
Zero-contact methodology enforced to protect water safety
We comply with all applicable local and federal regulations, including OSHA standards and best practices from the waterworks industry.
