Leaking Concrete Tanks

We use expanding hydraulic mortar to repair your leaking concrete tank. Additionally, we use flexible synthetic rubber (three layers) and fibreglass mesh for our industrial tank repairs in Melbourne. This technique reinforces the huge crack a steel band is fixed to; hence it stabilises the tank.

Most concrete tanks leak when the steel reinforcing the concrete becomes rusty and weakens. We repair small leaks from the outside using a crystal growth system. For huge leaking holes, we use expanding hydraulic mortar to seal.

For permanent repairs to the interior we use flexible Epoxy sealants. Is your tank experiencing severe cracking and needs reconditioning? Under these circumstances, ATM Tanks fit steel bands and a liner to ensure you store your water for years without any issues.

Industrial Water Tank Issues

It is common for floors to crack. If a comprehensive check is not done, the cracks are not noticeable. With time, concrete shrinks, and ground movement mainly leads to water loss. This water loss occurs through the bottom of your tank. As a result, you notice water seeping from the walls. Concrete repairs, rubberised coatings, and urethane crack injection can prevent leakage for a short time. However, when the ground shrinks beneath your tank due to drying out of the base, it leads to more cracks. In addition, after repairs, the floor moves again.

Effective Solution

For severe cracking, your tank needs reconditioning. Perhaps you have tried different methods to fix cracks. But for a lasting solution, we recommend letting our team fix a liner and bands. It enables you to store water in your industrial water tank for years without problems. This solution is also ideal for concrete tanks with posts and roofs. ATM Tanks fit steel bands on the outside hence decreasing movement and cracking. Rusting weakens the structure at the crack lines in the floor and walls.

Water storage tanks maintenance & repairs

If you own a commercial property or are a corporate body, it is vital to maintain your fire service tank. Fire service tanks are part of your building infrastructure. For this reason, your fire service tank needs maintenance.

Water tanks leak because of two main reasons:

• Your water tank’s age.
• ​Water leaks also happen because of tank or ground movement over time.

Liquid rubber (waterproof membrane)

Main advantages of sealing tanks with liquid-applied membranes

• Seamless (no seams or joins)
• Curves to any profile or shape
• Elastomeric: it contracts and expands with different surface
• Strong adhesion: bonds completely to the surface
• Optimal abrasion resistance
• Maximum tear strength
• Good heat resistance
• Maximum resistance to tree roots and termites
• Australian made

The Ideal Waterproofing Product

To establish the best waterproofing product for your particular industrial tank, consider the following:

• Cost of waterproofing repairs
• Complex, time-consuming, or labour-intensive waterproofing systems are more costly.
• Spray-on membranes are quick to install. Moreover, we minimise the interruption on the work site. So you save time and labour costs.
• What duration does it take to undertake waterproofing repairs?
• The quickest waterproof application is spray-applied liquid membranes. Comparatively, it is much faster than sheet membranes or liners.
• Preparation is crucial in all the systems you use. It ensures effective waterproofing.

ATM Tanks carefully prepare all surfaces before waterproofing application.
