Properly applied industrial coatings protect critical surfaces from corrosion, wear, and chemical exposure. At Induspray Inc., our industrial coating inspection services help commercial and industrial facilities across the GTA and Southern Ontario ensure coatings perform as intended and extend the life of key assets.

Our inspections cover a wide range of surfaces, including:

  • Structural steel beams and frames
  • Metal roofs and siding
  • Storage tanks, silos, and pipelines
  • Concrete and epoxy-coated floors
  • Industrial equipment and machinery

For example, structural steel coatings are checked for corrosion and chemical resistance, while metal roofs are evaluated for UV and weatherproof protection. Floor coatings in warehouses are assessed for abrasion resistance and ability to withstand forklift traffic.

NACE Certified Inspectors Ensure Quality

All inspections are performed by NACE-certified coating inspectors, who bring specialized knowledge and industry-approved methods:

  • Surface cleanliness verification using standards like SSPC-SP and ISO 8501
  • Dry film thickness measurements to confirm coatings meet specifications
  • Holiday testing to identify pinholes or voids in protective coatings
  • Environmental monitoring during application (temperature, humidity) to ensure proper curing

These steps help identify potential issues early, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure coatings last longer under demanding industrial conditions.

Inspection Across Industrial Facilities

Our inspectors manage coating quality across a variety of commercial and industrial environments:

  • Metal roofs – confirm UV resistance and weatherproofing performance
  • Fireproof coatings – verify coverage and compliance with safety codes
  • Warehouse floors – inspect epoxy or urethane coatings for chemical and abrasion resistance
  • Equipment and machinery – evaluate coatings to prevent corrosion and wear

They also identify challenges such as difficult access or inconsistent substrates, recommending adjustments to improve coating application and performance.

Our Industrial Coating Inspection Process

Induspray’s inspection workflow follows a structured, step-by-step approach:

  1. Surface profile measurement – ensures proper abrasive blasting application
  2. Environmental monitoring – confirms suitable conditions for coating performance
  3. Coating thickness testing – at multiple points across the surface
  4. Adhesion testing – using pull-off or tape tests
  5. Holiday detection – to locate pinholes or gaps in coatings on steel
  6. Visual inspections – of floors and other surfaces for uniformity and durability
  7. Reporting – detailed findings, photos, and maintenance recommendations

This process applies to all structures, from manufacturing plant floors to storage silos and industrial tanks, helping facilities maintain high coating standards and reduce unplanned downtime.

Why Certified Coating Inspectors Make a Difference

Partnering with NACE-certified inspectors provides:

  • Verification of coating quality and compliance with specifications
  • Early detection of defects to prevent costly repairs
  • Support for safety and environmental compliance
  • Detailed inspection reports to guide future maintenance planning

Induspray’s inspectors combine experience, training, and advanced tools to ensure your industrial coatings perform reliably in the GTA’s demanding commercial and industrial environments.

What Our Clients Say

We’ve used Induspray twice now, and both times had great success and were very happy. Will use again if we need more painting done.

Andy and his crew cannot be more recommended. In all our dealings, he was professional and honest. The quality of the work was excellent, and the price was reasonable. Thanks again.

Induspray painted all the aluminum siding on the exterior of our warehouse, plus parts of the interior. The exterior totalled over 20,000 square feet. We’re very pleased with the results and how well the project was handled. Thanks, we could not really ask for more and are completely satisfied.

Thanks again for the great job on our floor. It looks fantastic and we just wish we had done it sooner because our place looks so much cleaner and brighter now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Industrial coating inspection is a detailed assessment of protective coatings on critical surfaces such as structural steel, floors, roofs, pipelines, and equipment. It ensures coatings are applied correctly, adhere properly, and provide long-term protection.

Inspections help identify defects, pinholes, or areas of poor adhesion early. This prevents corrosion, chemical damage, and premature coating failure, reducing maintenance and repair costs.

Inspections are carried out by NACE-certified coating inspectors trained to evaluate various surfaces, measure coating thickness, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Common surfaces include structural steel beams and frames, metal roofs and siding, storage tanks, pipelines, concrete floors, industrial machinery, and equipment exposed to heavy use or harsh conditions.

Inspectors use techniques like surface cleanliness verification (SSPC-SP/ISO 8501), dry film thickness measurement, adhesion testing (pull-off or tape tests), holiday detection, and environmental monitoring of temperature and humidity.

Inspection frequency depends on facility type, exposure, and coating system. Many facilities schedule annual or biannual inspections, with additional checks after major events, maintenance, or repairs.

Yes. Early detection of defects allows corrective action before issues escalate, minimizing operational disruptions and avoiding costly emergency repairs.

Industries include manufacturing plants, warehouses, energy and chemical facilities, oil and gas operations, and any commercial or industrial facility with protective coatings on critical surfaces.

Reports detail coating condition, thickness measurements, adhesion results, pinhole/holiday findings, environmental conditions during application, and maintenance or corrective recommendations, often with supporting photos.

Induspray’s NACE-certified inspectors combine experience, advanced tools, and GTA-specific expertise. We provide thorough, actionable inspections that ensure coatings perform reliably and extend the life of your industrial assets.
