Water Tank & Reservoir Waterproofing Services

Protect Your Water Storage From Leaks, Seepage & Water Damage

Ferrozoil provides water tank waterproofing and reservoir tanking services in Nigeria for underground and overhead water storage structures, including concrete reservoirs and Braithwaite (pressed-steel panel) tanks.

We assess the condition of the structure, identify areas requiring protection and recommend a waterproofing approach suited to the project.

Water Tank Waterproofing Built Around the Problem

Water should stay inside the tank—not find its way through walls, joints, cracks or other vulnerable areas.

But when a water-retaining structure starts leaking, simply applying a waterproofing product may not solve the underlying problem.

The first step is understanding where the water is coming from, where it is going and what condition the structure is in.

Ferrozoil provides water tank waterproofing services in Nigeria with this in mind. We assess the structure before determining the appropriate waterproofing or tanking requirements.

What Problems Can Water Tank Waterproofing Address?

If you are dealing with a leaking reservoir or water storage tank, you may notice:

Learn More

Water seeping through concrete walls
Cracks allowing water to escape
Leakage around joints or penetrations
Dampness around an underground reservoir
Loss of stored water
Deteriorating waterproofing
Repeated leakage after previous repairs
Moisture affecting surrounding structures

These signs should not simply be covered up.

The source and extent of the problem need to be understood before deciding on the appropriate repair and waterproofing approach.

Our Water Tank & Reservoir Waterproofing Services Include

How We Waterproof a Water Tank or Reservoir

We follow a structured process so the waterproofing solution is based on the actual condition of the structure.

1. Inspect the Structure

We examine the tank or reservoir and identify visible cracks, leaks, joints, penetrations, damp areas and other potential problem points.

2. Assess the Cause

We consider the condition of the structure and the likely source of water ingress or leakage.

3. Define the Waterproofing Requirement

Based on the assessment, we determine the appropriate scope of waterproofing, tanking or remedial work.

4. Prepare the Surface

The affected surfaces are prepared according to the requirements of the selected waterproofing system.

5. Carry Out the Waterproofing Work

The specified waterproofing system is applied to the areas requiring protection.

6. Inspect the Completed Work

The treated areas are inspected and, where appropriate, tested before the structure is returned to service.

7. Handover

The completed work is handed over with the relevant project information and recommendations for ongoing care.

Waterproofing for New & Existing Water Storage Tanks

Building a New Reservoir?

Waterproofing should be considered during the planning and construction of a new water-retaining structure rather than waiting for leakage to appear.

Learn More

Ferrozoil can work with project owners and contractors to address the waterproofing requirements of new reservoirs and water storage structures.

If your project also requires [water reticulation services], we can connect the storage stage with the wider water distribution system.

Already Have a Leaking Tank?

Don’t assume that adding another waterproofing layer will solve the problem.

An existing tank should first be assessed to understand the condition of the structure and the source of the leakage.

Ferrozoil can assess the affected reservoir or tank and recommend the appropriate next step.

BEST PRACTICES WE FOLLOW

Water Tank Waterproofing for Residential, Commercial & Industrial Projects

Our waterproofing services can support water storage structures used across different types of developments.

Residential Properties

For homes and private properties that depend on tanks or reservoirs for water storage.

Residential Estates

For developers and estate managers requiring dependable water storage infrastructure across larger developments.

Commercial Buildings

For hotels, offices, commercial facilities and other properties where reliable water storage is important to daily operations.

Industrial Facilities

For industrial projects with water storage requirements connected to their wider water infrastructure.

Institutional Projects

For schools, healthcare facilities, government facilities and other institutions requiring protected water storage.

Your Water Storage System Is Part of a Bigger Infrastructure

A reservoir or water tank is only one part of a complete water system.

For many projects, the system looks like:

Groundwater Source → Borehole → Water Treatment → Water Storage → Water Reticulation → End Users

Ferrozoil can support several of these stages.

If you are still planning your water source, explore our Geophysical Survey Services for groundwater exploration and borehole siting.

If you need to understand the ground before construction or drilling, our Geotechnical Investigation & Soil Testing service can provide relevant subsurface information.

For water quality and treatment requirements, see our Water Treatment Services.

And when treated water needs to be distributed across an estate, facility or development, explore our [Water Reticulation Services].

This connected approach allows Ferrozoil to support more than one isolated component of your water infrastructure.

Water Storage, Waterproofing & Water Quality

Water storage structures must be designed and maintained with their intended use in mind.

For water intended for drinking or other sensitive applications, the suitability of materials and coatings that come into contact with the stored water should be considered carefully.

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) maintains consensus standards covering water treatment and supply, including standards relating to water-storage tanks, tank coatings and concrete water tanks. American Water Works Association

OUR WORK PROCESS

Site Inspection & Assessment

We begin by evaluating the structure, identifying problem areas, and understanding the project's specific waterproofing or construction requirements.

Solution Design & Proposal

Our engineers develop a tailored solution, selecting the most suitable materials, techniques, and scope of work to ensure long-lasting results.

Our experienced team carries out the project with precision, adhering to industry standards, safety protocols, and quality control measures at every stage.

Quality Assurance & Handover

Upon completion, we conduct thorough inspections and testing to verify performance before handing over a durable, reliable solution to the client.

How Much Does Water Tank Waterproofing Cost in Nigeria?

There is no fixed price for every water tank waterproofing project.

The cost depends on factors such as:

For this reason, Ferrozoil recommends a site inspection and assessment before providing a project-specific quotation.
