Water Tank Leak Repair in Dubai
Water tank leak repair fixes leaks, cracks and corrosion in storage tanks so they stop losing water and stay safe to use. EZ Solutions repairs commercial and residential tanks in Dubai using welding, patching or internal lining, with the method chosen to match the tank material and the extent of the damage.
We repair and maintain a wide range of tanks for commercial and residential use, including water storage tanks serving residential buildings, commercial properties and agricultural sites. Leaks, cracks and other damage are repaired so the tank is safe and efficient again, rather than slowly losing water and undermining the structure around it.
Methods of repairing tanks
Welding
Welding joins two pieces of metal by heating the surfaces to melting point and fusing them. It is the standard method for repairing leaks in tanks made of steel or aluminium.
Patching
Patching covers a hole or damaged area with a patch, which can be metal, fibreglass or another material. In metal tanks it can also mean cutting out the damaged section and replacing it. It is most effective for small, localised areas of damage, and it is often the right approach for tanks made from non-metallic materials such as plastic or fibreglass.
Lining, gel coating and lamination
Lining applies a layer of material to the interior of the tank to protect it from corrosion and leaks. It is commonly used for concrete, RCC and other porous tanks. Lining materials include epoxy, polyurethane and rubber. Gel coating and GRP lamination are used on GRP and moulded fibreglass (MFG) tanks to restore the skin where it has cracked or worn.
Repair or replace
When a tank is too damaged or too old to hold a lasting repair, replacement is the honest recommendation. We assess the existing tank, quote the replacement and install the new unit so the building is not left without storage.
After the repair
Repair materials need time to cure. For drinking-water tanks we disinfect after the work and, where required, send a water sample for testing before the tank goes back into service.
Choosing the right approach
Each method has advantages and limitations, and the correct choice depends on the type of tank, the extent of the damage and the intended use of the tank. It is always worth having the tank assessed before committing to a repair method, because the cheapest repair on the day is frequently the one that fails first.
Our team
Our technicians are equipped with the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain all types of tanks, using current techniques and complying with industry standards and regulations.
What is included
- Welding, patching, gel coating and GRP lamination
- GRP, RCC, MFG, metal, concrete and fibreglass tanks
- Tank replacement when repair is not viable
- Inlet and outlet pipe repair and resealing
- Assessment before any method is recommended
How we do it
-
Inspect and find the leak
We establish where the tank is losing water and why, because a weeping crack in a concrete tank and a corroded seam in a steel tank need completely different repairs.
-
Recommend a method
Welding, patching or lining is selected based on the tank material, the location and size of the damage and how the tank is used.
-
Carry out the repair
The repair is completed to industry standards, and where the tank stores drinking water we use materials suitable for potable use.
-
Refill and check
The tank is refilled and checked to confirm the repair holds before we hand it back.
Water Tank Leak Repair in Dubai: frequently asked questions
How do I know my water tank needs repair?
Low water pressure, visible leaks or drips from the tank, rust or corrosion on the tank body, discoloured water, or an unpleasant smell or taste. Any of these is worth an inspection.
What repair methods do you use?
Welding joins metal surfaces and is used for leaks in steel or aluminium tanks. Patching covers or replaces a damaged section and suits small areas of damage, including on plastic and fibreglass tanks. Lining, gel coating and GRP lamination apply a protective layer to the tank interior or skin and are commonly used on GRP, RCC and MFG tanks.
Which method is right for my tank?
It depends on the tank material, the extent and location of the damage, and what the tank is used for. We assess the tank first and recommend a method rather than applying one approach to everything.
Can I use the tank while it is being repaired?
Sometimes. Some repairs require the tank to be drained and emptied; others can be done with the tank in service. We will tell you which applies before scheduling.
What does a tank repair cost?
It depends entirely on the repair needed and the type of tank. We quote after inspecting, because quoting a tank repair unseen is guesswork.
Can the tank be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Many leaks can be repaired if they are found early. If the tank is old, extensively cracked or the material has failed, replacement is the safer option. We assess that on site rather than repairing a tank that will leak again.
Is the water safe to use immediately after a repair?
Follow the curing time we give you for the materials used. Where the tank stores drinking water we disinfect after the repair and, where required, send a water sample for testing before handing the tank back.
