Almost all tanks come with waterproofing. It is a necessary component that helps a tank service you longer, and it also ensures the integrity of your tank’s content. But why is it really necessary? At ATM Tanks, one of the services we offer is tank waterproofing in Adelaide. Today, we will show you the two main reasons why you need to seriously consider this service.
Elastic Seal Works Better
Alot of water storage tanks we encounter are made of concrete. The problem with concrete tanks is that it is microscopic holes. It is in these holes that water seep through, and it is going to make the hole bigger. After a long period of time, the concrete is going to crack. Also, the cracks will keep on expanding as the concrete can no longer hold the pressure inside. At ATM Tanks, one of the things that we offer is a liquid rubber. It is one of the most effective materials that you can use as a tank liner to waterproof your tank from the inside. When we do tank waterproofing in Adelaide, we take into consideration that kind of liquid that is stored, and liquid rubber is one that we highly recommend.
The liquid rubber is applied like you would with paint. After it dries, it becomes hard, but it maintains its elasticity. It is this elasticity that prevents the leakage from happening—it is not going to crack so easily, despite the pressure from inside the tank.
Safety from Micro-organisms
Tank waterproofing in Adelaide is standard practice for safety reasons. Micro-organisms are so small that they are not visible to the human eye. If your tank has cracks, no matter how small, that should be enough for these micro-organisms to get in. and once they do, they will multiply and cause diseases. If your tank is not waterproof, the bacteria will get into your drinking systems, kitchen faucet, and bath. They can cause water-borne diseases like:
- Hot tub rash
- Swimmer’s ear
- Diarrhoea
- Typhoid fever
- Cholera
- Guardia
Since your water tank is stagnant, the viruses and bacteria that cause these diseases have a way to easily multiply and spread. The only solution to this is to block their way in, and you can do this with tank waterproofing in Adelaide.
