Quality

You don’t have time to deal with a rejected tank. Our dedicated team of tank cleaners have a reputation for the highest-quality tank washes in the area. Training and experience go a long way towards ensuring your tanks are cleaned in a safe and timely manner. Many of our tank cleaners have been on the job for ten years or more, and they bring a superior knowledge of tank cleaning to work with them every day.

Our facility’s commitment to the highest quality washes have been recognized by Proctor & Gamble, Ingredion, and Cargill – plants with some of the most rigorous wash audits around. We are proud of our certifications, which we alone hold in our region. Bringing your tank to KAW means you value a thorough job done right.

That’s why we set the standard for wash-outs in the Kansas City area.

Safety

Tank cleaning is dirty work, sure. But we believe that with the correct training and precautions, it doesn’t have to also be dangerous. In fact, safety is so important to us, it is our number one core value. Nothing comes before the safety of our employees, customers, and neighbors.

All our tank cleaners participate in a comprehensive safety training program, which we developed after taking into consideration the latest workplace safety rules and guidelines. We make it our goal to exceed each of these expectations for safety in our workplace.

It all begins with a safety mindset, which we instill throughout our company. Weekly safety training meetings, safety compliance audits and training, and extensive personal protective equipment all make KAW a safe place to do business. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Environmental compliance

We believe tank cleaning should be safe, sustainable and environmentally conscious. Our award-winning onsite water treatment plant has met or exceeded all requirements of the Clean Water Act for many years. We hold ourselves to high standards not only as a tank wash, but also as neighbors and community partners. Look, we have to drink the water too. And we know that healthy communities and ecosystems are simply not possible without clean water. That’s why water treatment and safe waste disposal is a top priority.
