HANDY HINTS - FOR YOUR CONCRETE WATER TANK
6 Points to consider !
Concrete Water Tanks have been around for many years and are a permanent inclusion in the country landscape. Poured on site tank are usually large in volume and have been around for 80 + years.
If you have a conrete water tank there are some basic things that shold be done to prolong the service life of these great water storage solutions. Many of the tanks we end up repairing have been let go for many years without the owners considering what is happening to there tank.
Things to focus on are - Never leave a Concrete Water Tank dry for more than a month time period. Concrete drys out and then starts to structurally break down and turns concrete into dry powder / mortar, no longer holding together, concrete needs that moisture. Membranes and Liners will seperate the water inside a tank from the concrete wall / floor, keep that in mind.
1. The overflow pipe on the tank must be piped away from the tank so the water overflowing doesn't sit around the base of the tank. 6 meters away.
2. A water tank where water sits around the base in winter conditions is a recipe for disaster down the track. The base of the tank will subside to the wet side over many years and cracks will then start to appear in your tank when the base moves. Keep the base of your tank dry at all times with the relevant drainage. Spoon drains, etc.
3. Don't plant tree's / shrubs / plants, around the tank, roots will penetrate the concrete floor of tanks over time looking for water especially in dry months. We have seen many tanks where the floors have cracked due to tree's roots pushing from underneath.
4. The majority of the tanks we repair the cracks will show up on the overflow side of the tank, ( that half of the tank ), this is usually where the base has been wet for many years and movement to that side occurrs.
5. Consider how long water tank cracks have been leaking - some cracks can sit in a paddock and leak for 20 + years, this will then effect the steel reinforcement inside the tank wall and floors weakening the structural strength of the tank.
6. The earlier you can repair concrete water tank leaks the stronger your tank will be for future years.
CONCRETE WATER TANKS PROVIDE A LOVELY FRESH, CHRISP TASTING WATER WHICH YOU DON'T FIND IN MODERN DAY WATER STORAGE SOLUTIONS.
WE FIND MOST HOBBY FARMERS, FARMERS, HOME OWNERS WANT THE OLD STYLE COUNTRY LIVING THAT A TREE CHANGE BRING'S.

THE EARLIER YOU REPAIR TANK LEAKS - the more structural integrity your tank will have, you prevent further rusting of the concrete steel reinforcement, saving your tanks Structural Strength ! 50,000 Litres = 50 Tonnes of Water Weight on tank walls.
Crack injection is commonly used in residential and commercial applications primarily because it is far less expensive than emptying tank water, cleaning out the interior of the tank, then drying the inside surfaces out as well as grinding all surfaces smooth. There is also no need to remove tiles and other finishes from the surface in order to fix leaks. Crack injection is the most reliable leaking crack repair system.

- Injection Leak Sealant - was used to repair a cooling tank at the Geelong Galvanising Plant. The process was carried out on all visible cracks from the inside of the tank reservoir, as you can see from our photos. The cooling tank is used after the steel is removed from the furnace to cool the steel once galvanised. The water temperature inside the tank can be up to 90 oC once steel has been cooled.
- Goulburn Valley Water - Buxton Township, Victoria - Buxton's Township Concrete Water Tank Leak Repairs - very bad leak three places, base of tank - leaking 20 litres per minute, leaks were 20mm diameter hole size x 3 qty.
- Gippsland Water - Warragul & Traralgon Waste Water Treatment Plant - The pressure injection process is the same process used on Melbourne’s Burnley Tunnel, Desal Plant, Tunnels, Bridges, Drains, Reservoirs in the commercial building industry. Very effective and economical process for repairing concrete water leaks. We specialise in Commercial, Domestic, Rural repairs.

We use a pressure injection leak sealant that has been developed over many years, ( 25 + years ), in the Commercial Construction Industry. Proven and Tested in some of the harshest conditions. Strong, Flexible, Durable. Designed to repair leaking cracks without EMPTYING your water.
The Buxton, Victoria, - Town Water Supply Tank, Victoria - leaks repaired were in a tank 4.5 meters high x 14 meters diameter with five very large leak flows almost the size of your wrist in diameter right at the base of the tank as well where pressure is at it's highest, these leaks were repaired exactly the same way as we do all rural and domestic concrete tanks with the crack injection system.
AMAZING RESULTS !

PRESSURE INJECTION REPAIR SYSTEM - Leaking Concrete Crack Repair
( Sealant is - Food Grade - Potable Water Approved as per the Australian Standards )
Crack Injection is the most effective leaking crack repair method in concrete repair industry. The widespread use of the method of crack injection is a tribute to the inherent versatility of low viscosity sealant injection for leak sealing applications.
What makes it work ?
Crack Injection is a fluid sealant which is injected into concrete cracks, rock fissures, expansion joints and other voids in concrete structures. When used in concrete crack injection applications the sealant is injected into a crack; within minutes the sealant expands transforming from a liquid to a flexible rubber solid. Flexible, Very Strong and Durable being the key, Potable Food Grade Sealant for drinking water, with a extremely high adhesion rating. The sealant will expand and contract with future concrete movement. Concrete is subject to weather conditions and will expand and conctract along with these conditions, very similar to house foundations and brickwork.
The Sealant is attracted to water - making it work amazingly well in situations where there is water actively leaking ( flowing ) out of cracks at a high flow rate. You will be amazed at some of the high pressure leaks we have repaired, ( refer to website for examples ), in water tanks that are full of water
It has a very short cure time, making it ideal for active leak sealing.
- Extremely low viscosity allowing for even the finest fishers (cracks with a width less than 0.2mm) to be sealed. It will find cracks that you can't physically see !
- The sealant cures normally whether a foundation crack is wet, actively leaking, or damp.
- Sealant, once cured, is flexible, allowing for movement in the structure.
- Any leak in a concrete structure can be sealed as long as we can get to it.
