FAQ – IS IT WORTH REPAIRING MY OLD CONCRETE TANK?

Many people wonder if it’s actually worth repairing an old concrete water tank or septic tank. In most cases repairing your tank will save you time and money rather than replacing it. Using an experienced tank repairer is the best option.

The good thing about owning a concrete tank is that they are repairable compared to other types of tanks, such as plastic. The tanks that we work on are often 30, 40 or 50+ years old and they are still in good enough shape to repair.

When it comes to repairing tanks, people sometimes consider repairing the tank themselves – this may seem like a great idea at the time, but it won’t always give you lasting results. Ken has been working in the tank industry for 20 years, so he knows what products to use and the best techniques for repairing concrete tanks.

The type of tank repair work that Ken has completed for clients over the years includes; water tank roof repairs, re-wiring the outside of concrete tanks, rendering the exterior of cement tanks and repairing cracks in the walls of tanks.

After repair work has been completed on the exterior of a tank, it’s time to repair the cracks on the inside. When working on the interior of tanks that hold drinking water, it’s really important to ensure that the correct products are used so that the quality and taste of water is not affected.

The waterproofing membrane that we use on all our tank repair jobs, doesn’t affect the taste of drinking water.

Below is a before and after image of a tank that was damaged on the exterior – the tank was re-wired and rendered on the outside to protect it for years to come and the interior was also repaired, primed and waterproofed.
