Water tanks are meant to safely store water without any leakages. But here it’s not just the question of leakages. The primary problem is avoiding the growth of fungus. You’d wonder how the fungus is formed? At times, seepage and leakage from overhead and underground tanks spoil the décor. This, in turn, helps the growth of algae and fungus, which leads to weakening of the structure. For this reason, such areas should be made waterproof as well as safe for potable water. For this, you have to employ the right water tank waterproofing method using the right products—
SBT-FIXO Seepage Shield and
SBT-PAINTO Damp Proofing. Before using these water tank waterproofing products, make sure you keep the following things in mind:
- Surface to be treated should be clean and free from dirt, oil and other loose
- Concrete or masonry surfaces should be fully cured before application
- All surface cracks, undulations and voids must be repaired appropriately before application
- Correctly grout all construction joints using polymer modified mortar using SBT-FIXO Seepage Shield. Surface to be treated with SBT-PAINTO Damp Proofing must be in a saturated surface dry condition before application
