Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to seal a leaking concrete water tank? We've finally worked out why we're getting through so much water at 8 YTL per ton it's expensive stuff! Also annoying to find out the tank is almost empty just when you need it.

Hi Mike

To answer your question alot more imformation would be required and then with out looking at it, any answer would only be it Might Work.

Is the tank split, is it leaking where a fitting (ie pipe) is fastened to the tank, Has the concrete turned pourous letting water seep out. There are many sealants about but none I would recomend as 100%.

How big is the tank as replacement plastic tanks start at 500ytl for a two ton tank, lose 100 tons of water and you have bought a tank.
