About
A resource built around one kind of work.
Cistern Coatings covers how water storage fails and how it gets fixed: liners, prep, repair, certification and the people who do the work.
Why this site exists
Most information about cistern coatings is scattered across product data sheets, contractor ads and forum threads. Owners have a hard time telling a lasting repair from a quick paint job, and contractors who want to get into this work rarely know where to start.
This site pulls it together in plain language: what goes wrong with concrete and steel water storage, what a proper lining job looks like from inspection to refill, and what drinking-water certification actually means.
Who is behind it
Cistern Coatings is supported by ArmorThane, a polyurea and polyurethane protective coatings manufacturer founded in 1989 and based in Springfield, Missouri. ArmorThane trains and supplies applicators who spray cisterns, tanks, containment, roofs, bedliners and much more.
When you send a request through this site, it goes to ArmorThane’s team. If you are a contractor, they will talk with you about equipment, training and materials. If you have a tank that needs work, they will help you find a trained applicator.
How we write
Our articles are written to be useful to an owner, an engineer and an applicator at the same time. Where a claim depends on a specific product or listing, we say so, and we point you to the source.
