The Ultimate Silo Maintenance Checklist
Posted by Dennis Blauser, November 20, 2025
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.
 
 

Conclusion

A disciplined approach to silo inspection, repair, and restoration helps avoid costly downtime, extends service life, and ensures safety.
 
If you've spotted a structural warning sign, don't delay, contact Marietta Silos for support on your next inspection or restoration project today.
