In this pandemic, calling a plumber from outside for repairing a domestic water storage tank is indeed a matter of hesitation. In this situation, doing your household tasks by yourself is the best option for you and your family. Why depend on others?

How would you understand that your water tank needs to be repaired?

If you notice that your taps lack water pressure and the water level decrease without even using or if you notice a gathering of water around or outside your water tank, understand that your tank needs a repairing service.

What are the basic tools for repairing a plastic water storage tank?

You cannot mend a huge plastic tank with a hammer only. For that, you need some equipment that would easily make your task easy. Once you make sure that you would repair the cracks yourself, try to collect the following tools.

• Plastic molding power gun
• Plastic molding rod
• Drilling machine
• Rotary tool
• Knife

What are the steps of mending the cracks of a plastic water tank to be followed?

The first and foremost thing is to make the tank vacant and clean the tank inside and out properly. Use any cleaning tool and make every unwanted and breakneck thing out of the tank.

After that, make one hole at the top and another hole at the bottom of the crack with the drilling machine to decrease the pressure and not allow it to crack further. You need to sand a notch with the oppressive rotary tooltip half-inch aligned to the crack. This notch will help the molding rod to fit in and perfectly seal the nook.

The molding rod should be cut with the utility knife and with the help of the power gun, the rod should be inserted properly.

To give it a fine finishing, you can sand it carefully to remove the rough edges and paint it down with a color that matches your tank.

Remember one thing, you would never be able to repair your tank yourself like a pro. Yes, in this pandemic situation, you may apply these steps to mend it yourself to avoid the presence of a plumber inside your home. But this is certainly not a permanent solution.

Some severe cracks are not mendable sometimes. For that, you should replace your tank and buy a new one. Purchase a dynamic water storage tank at an optimum price from Penguin Tank, the most reliable plastic water storage tank manufacturer in West Bengal.
