Signs your tank needs waterproofing
- The water meter keeps turning with all taps closed.
- Damp walls or floors near the tank.
- Cracks, rust stains or sediment inside the tank.
- Cloudy water or a smell after refilling.
How we waterproof a tank
- Confirm the source of the leak
- Empty and clean the tank
- Repair cracks, joints and openings
- Apply a lining approved for drinking water
- Cure, then refill
- Monitor the level and hand over
Underground and roof tanks
Underground tanks face water pressure from inside and soil moisture from outside, so we repair cracks and joints and, where reachable, treat the outer face too. Roof tanks are checked together with the roof waterproofing, because a leaking tank destroys the layer underneath it.
