Service · Overhead tanks

A leaking tank damages the building 24/7 — not just in the monsoon.

Your overhead tank holds tonnes of water under constant pressure, every hour of the year. Even a hairline crack means continuous seepage into the slab and walls below — plus contamination risk in the water your residents drink. We seal it properly.

Why this happens

Constant pressure finds every weakness.

Unlike a terrace, a tank doesn't get a dry season. Hydrostatic pressure pushes water into any imperfection around the clock. What typically fails:

  • Hydrostatic pressure on joints — the constant outward push exploits construction joints first
  • Cracks in aging RCC — thermal expansion and contraction open hairline paths
  • Failed old coatings — internal coatings that peeled, flaked, or were never suitable for immersion
  • Pipe penetrations — inlet, outlet and overflow junctions are classic leak points

The visible symptoms — damp patches on the terrace or top-floor ceiling, moss streaks down the building face, corroding rebar around the tank — all continue growing until the tank itself is treated.

What goes into your tank

Nothing leaches into your water.

It's the first question any resident asks about tank waterproofing, and it's the right question: if you're treating the walls that hold our drinking water, what happens to that chemical afterwards?

Our treatment reacts chemically with the concrete and becomes part of the structure rather than a coating sitting inside it. It is non-leachable — it doesn't dissolve back out into what you store, and there's no film to flake, peel or shed into the water the way failing internal coatings do.

The chemistry is also water-based and low-VOC, releasing a fraction of the volatile organics of solvent-based alternatives. In practice that means no solvent fumes during application and nothing harsh introduced into an enclosed tank — better for the applicators working inside it and for the residents living below.

What we can put in front of your committee

  • Manufacturer technical datasheets for every material used
  • Written confirmation of the treatment specification for your tank
  • The notarized warranty covering the treated tank
  • A completion report after the fill test

Ask for these at quotation stage — any contractor treating your water tank should be able to produce them.

Our process

What actually happens at your tank.

  1. Empty-tank inspection

    We inspect the drained tank to map cracks, joint condition and pipe penetrations — the real leak sources.

  2. Surface preparation

    Cleaning and preparing internal surfaces without structural damage.

  3. Crack & joint sealing

    Every crack, construction joint and pipe penetration is individually treated — these carry the pressure.

  4. Waterproofing treatment

    Applied to withstand permanent immersion and hydrostatic pressure, keeping stored water clean.

  5. Fill test

    The tank is refilled and monitored before we hand it back.

  6. Handover with notarized warranty

    Completion report plus your stamp-paper warranty document.

Overhead tanks FAQ

What clients ask us on the first call.

How long will the tank be out of service?
We plan the drain-treat-cure-refill cycle around your society's supply schedule, and confirm the exact downtime at inspection. Most societies bridge it comfortably with their underground tank and pump timing.
Is the treatment safe for drinking water?
Our treatment is non-leachable — it bonds chemically to the concrete rather than sitting inside the tank as a film, so it doesn't dissolve back into stored water or flake off the way failing coatings do. It is water-based and low-VOC, with no solvent fumes during application. Sealing the tank also actively improves hygiene, since a leaking tank lets dust, algae and contaminants in. Manufacturer datasheets for every material are available on request for your committee's records.
The damp patch is on our top-floor ceiling. How do we know it's the tank and not the terrace?
You often can't tell from below — which is exactly why we inspect before quoting. Tank leaks show year-round; terrace leaks track the rain. Our report tells you which one you're dealing with, so you pay to fix the actual source.
Can this be done during the monsoon?
Yes. Tank work is largely internal and runs year-round — another good candidate for the months when terrace work must wait.

Seal the tank. Protect the structure and the water in it.
