Restoring Functionality and Reliability
When your water tank encounters issues, whether it’s leaks, structural damage, or other malfunctions, prompt repairs are essential to ensure continued functionality and prevent further damage.
Small Repairs Or Full Replacements
Tank Roof Repairs
When older tanks begin to rust, the roofs begin to fail. This doesn’t always mean you need to buy a new tank. South West Tanks specialises in roof replacement – replacing roof sheets, roof trusses, rusted or damaged panels and accessories.
Common cause of roof failures:
Something we see a lot of in Older tanks, is smaller overflows. This means when you have more water coming in than what your overflow can get out, your roof will spend some time underwater. Over time, your roof will rust until, eventually, it fails. Some tanks require whole new roof and others a simple truss replacement. Either way, we have you covered.
When to replace my tank roof?
- Visible damage or deterioration
- Age of the tank - steel tanks roof's typically last 15–25 years
- Overtime rust can form causing weakness
- Water quality issues - starts showing signs of debris or algae

Tank Liner Replacement
As tanks age, some liners become defective due to a number of causes. Some of the most common causes are liner shrinkage, physical damage, root intrusion, and termite. If your water tank is structurally fine, we can replace the liner, saving you thousands on a new tank.

Concrete Water Tank Repairs
Old concrete tank failing? Avoid concrete cancer and have your old concrete water tank lined. Lining your concrete water tank as soon as leaks start to appear is a great way of avoiding concrete cancer.
What concrete cancer? Concrete cancer is when the rebar within the concrete gets wet and begins to rust. When the rebar rusts, the steel expands, and begins popping concrete out, majorly affecting the tanks structural integrity. By having your tank lined when cracks and moisture start to appear, you can avoid these issues and prolong the life of your tank for years.
