Houston Cooling Tower
Cleaning & Water Treatment
Fixed-price basin and fill cleaning, biocide treatment, and ASHRAE 188 water management documentation for Houston commercial cooling towers — scheduled before the cooling season peak, not after an outage.
Single tower cleaning starts at $395. A full annual water program runs $2,400–$6,500 per tower.
Tonnage, tower condition, and treatment scope set the number — and we put it in writing before we start.
Houston Towers Run Hard — and Fouling Is Expensive
Houston cooling towers operate through a nine-month cooling season in high humidity, and city water leaves scale behind. Basins collect sludge, fill media clogs, nozzles block, and the tower gradually stops rejecting heat the way it was designed to.
The cost shows up three ways: higher condenser water temperatures and energy use, a compressor or chiller pushed harder than it should be, and an elevated Legionella risk that becomes a regulatory and liability issue if it is ever traced back to an unmanaged water system.
Everything Included
No hidden fees, no per-visit surprises, and documentation after every service.
Basin & Fill Cleaning
Sludge and scale removed from basins, fill media, and spray nozzles — the fouling that quietly steals tower capacity.
Legionella Risk Control
Biocide treatment schedule, quarterly testing, and an ASHRAE 188 water management plan kept on file for your facility documentation.
Capacity & Efficiency Restored
A fouled tower loses 8–15 percent of its heat-rejection capacity, which shows up as higher condenser water temps and higher kWh.
Off-Hours Scheduling
Cleaning is scheduled around tenant hours and building loads so cooling is never interrupted during occupancy.
Fixed Per-Tower Pricing
Quoted per tower, per visit. No mobilization fees, no equipment rental line items, no surprise surcharges.
Documentation Included
Before-and-after photos, basin condition report, water test results, and service logs — the paperwork that satisfies audits.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
