Water tank proofing systems are essential to ensure the long-term integrity, hygiene, and safety of both overhead and underground water storage. Here's why they are necessary:
- Prevents Water Leakage
Without proper waterproofing, tanks can develop cracks or seepage, leading to water loss and damage to the surrounding structure (especially in overhead or rooftop tanks).
- Maintains Water Quality and Hygiene
Leaky tanks can allow contaminants or pollutants to enter, especially in underground tanks. Waterproofing creates a sealed, non-toxic barrier that protects water quality.
- Protects Structural Integrity
Constant exposure to stored water puts pressure on tank walls and floors. Waterproofing prevents deterioration of concrete and corrosion of reinforcement steel over time.
- Prevents Dampness and Mold in Surrounding Areas
Seepage from tanks, especially those embedded in walls or ceilings, can lead to damp patches, peeling paint, and unhealthy indoor environments.
- Reduces Repair and Maintenance Costs
Early waterproofing treatment prevents costly structural repairs and reduces maintenance by keeping the tank leak-free for years.
- Avoids Contamination from Surrounding Soil or Wastewater
For underground tanks, waterproofing also prevents external pollutants or groundwater from seeping in and contaminating clean stored water.
