WATER RETAINING STRUCTURES

Water Tank & Pool Waterproofing

A water-retaining structure holds pressure from the inside, permanently. The tolerance for a wrong specification here is zero.

SYMPTOMS

What You Are Probably Seeing

Leakage shows up somewhere other than where it starts. These are the signs we look for — and what each one usually means.

Water level dropping with no usage

Leakage through the base, walls or a construction joint. Measure it over 24 hours before assuming evaporation.

Damp patch on the outside of the tank wall

Water is already through the wall section. Surface treatment inside will not be enough on its own.

Cracks in the tank floor or wall

Shrinkage or structural movement. These need routing and filling before any coating.

Leakage where the pipe enters

Penetration detail. The concrete rarely fails — the joint around the pipe does.

OUR METHOD

How We Approach It

The same four steps on every job. The system changes; the method does not.

01

Empty, clean and test

The tank is drained and cleaned so the actual leak path can be seen, not guessed.

02

Treat cracks and joints first

Routing, plugging and joint treatment before any coating. A membrane over an untreated crack simply moves the leak.

03

Apply a system rated for water contact

Cementitious systems that hold under continuous water pressure and remain suitable for the tank’s intended use.

04

Cure and fill test

Full cure, then a controlled fill and observation before handing back.

عموما پوچھے جانے والے سوالات

Questions We Get Asked

Is the coating safe for a drinking water tank?
Suitability for potable water depends on the specific product and its certification. Tell us the tank is for drinking water at the inspection stage and we will specify accordingly — do not assume any waterproofing coating is suitable by default.
How long must the tank stay empty?
It depends on the system and the weather, but plan for the full cure period before filling. Filling early is a common way to ruin an otherwise correct application.
Do you also waterproof swimming pools?
Yes. Pools follow the same logic as tanks, with additional attention to the finish, the tile bedding and the surrounding deck.
