Top Water Tank Installation & Repair related questions

With Airtasker, you can hire an expert to install your water tank anywhere you are. All you need is a device that has internet access, and our platform lets you find Taskers in your neighbourhood who can help you out right away. There's no need to wait for an available date with local water tank companies. Hiring a Tasker means you can get the job even on the same day.
Not really. You don't have to provide tools or equipment for your water tank repair. Your Tasker can bring the necessary supplies, so you won't have to worry about anything else. If, however, you have some essential tools on hand, you're free to lend them to your Tasker. They can also drop by the hardware store along the way to pick up any other equipment that's needed to complete the job.
Sure! Airtasker is a reliable community marketplace where you can readily outsource major or minor tasks. If you need a hand with your plumbing, you can easily find a Tasker near you that can help you out! Whether it's fixing pipes, clearing blocked drains, or installing dishwashers, you can find a plumber who can work within your budget and at your preferred schedule.
How long it takes to repair a water talk all boils down to how severe the damage is. Small leaks can quickly be completed within an hour or so while a water tank replacement may take more time. If you want to know how long your service will take, you can ask your Tasker, and they'll be happy to go over the job with you.
With proper maintenance, a water storage tank can last up to 15 years or even more. Although most tanks have a general warranty of only five years, a tank that's regularly inspected, cleaned, and maintained can have a long and useful life. In general, a water storage tank's lifespan would depend on several factors, including the type of tank, the material used in manufacturing, and whether it's positioned above or under the ground.
Airtasker helps you find professionals who can do most house maintenance work. If you're looking to install a new gas appliance or repair your old one, you can hire a gas fitter to get the job done for you safely. You can also book a building contractor for all your construction projects.

What do water tank installation and repair services include?

Water tank installation and repair covers what's necessary to install new water tanks to your home or repair old ones and restore them in good running condition. Regardless of size, design, and specifications, you can hire an expert to handle your water tank-related needs so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in expert hands. Not only will you be able to reduce your water bills and environmental impact, but you'll also be safeguarding you and your family's health. Here's what we can do for you:


Water tank installation

If you just moved into a new home to start anew, Taskers can help you install backup water tanks so you can be ready for any emergencies. Before installation, you must first check with your local council and water authority in case your tank needs approval.


Once confirmed, your Tasker starts by carefully choosing where to place your water tank. Its position must be unobtrusive, readily accessible, and close to a downpipe. They'll then take the inlet screen of your tank and connect it with your existing downpipe, fit a cleaning or filtering device, then check if all remaining parts fit correctly before installation.


Your tank's outlet holes are then drilled in, the tap or hose fitting screwed in place, and lastly, Teflon tape is wrapped around the fitting to reduce leakage. For proper water storage tank maintenance, your Tasker will also remind you to clean your filters and strainers regularly.


Water tank repair

One of the most common water tank issues is leakage. To repair your water tank, your Tasker first drains the equipment below the level of the tear and clean the surface of any grime or dirt. Then, they drill a tiny hole on both ends of the tear and heat the area surrounding the hole with a heat gun or propane torch. The filler material is then placed over the tear and continuously heated until it covers the damage completely.


Once the tank is cooled down, your Tasker tests it out by refilling the equipment with water and re-checking for any leaks. In case you own a solar water heater tank, your Tasker can also handle the repair for you. Most solar water tank problems arise from pipe degradation due to harsh UV rays and rough weather conditions. Improper installation or no maintenance of valves, pumps, and sensors can also contribute to problems over time. If your solar water heater tank is malfunctioning, the quickest and most cost-effective solution is replacing it with new parts.


Water tank removal

Your Tasker can also handle your water tank removal in case you have a dormant water tank that's worn down and no longer in use. Since water tanks are heavy and pose health and safety risks, professional help and specialised equipment are needed for the job. From safely removing the tank off of your property to cleaning up the area afterwards, you can leave the job to your Tasker and let them do the heavy lifting for you.

Help me move a water tank

$80

Coburg North VIC, Australia

30th Nov 2024

Help me move this water tank from my driveway into the path behind my house. The tank is about 50 kilos and is a bit awkward to move. It has to fit in a narrow gap which is wide enough but we probably won't be able to use a dollie. I have prepared a level concrete slab to place the tank on. I do have nylon straps to help move it. Tank is empty and unplugged. The tap in the picture will be removed while we move it. I estimate it will take about 20-30 minutes. I'm not asking you to help problem-solve or take responsibility for the entire job, I just need a strong pair of hands to help. If there are issues with the fit and we have to return it to the trailer I will still pay you.

Great work thanks Simon

Destroy and remove outdoor water tanks

$300

Springfield Lakes QLD 4300, Australia

24th Nov 2024

We need someone to cut up/destroy our outdoor water tank and remove it from the yard (and take to the tip). Currently it just has the outdoor hose attached to it and will organise a plumber to disconnect this once I have someone booked in to remove the tanks. It doesn’t need to be cut up but we have very limited side access so the tanks will not fit down the side as a whole (picture of side access included). Probably 1m across but with downpipes and air con units etc in the way. 5000L tank with the following measurements: 192cm Height 300cm Width 120cm Depth

We are stoked with how quickly Chad moved our pipes and dismantled our water tanks. Really hard worker and cleaned up after himself. Great communication. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Thanks Chad!

Remove hot water tank, replace shelf, re-install tank

$400

Elwood VIC, Australia

26th Oct 2024

My hot water tank has been installed on a shelf that was only being held up on three sides by staples. The weight of the unit has caused the shelf to collapse over time. You can see in the photos where the staples have been pulled from the shelf. No signs of leaks/water damage/rot - just a bent shelf. The water tank is now on a lean. Ideally I'd like the tank removed, shelf or as much of the shelf as possible removed, a new shelf put in with bracing underneath to stop it from sagging (I have a large piece of chip board that can be cut to size for this), and the tank re-installed. Or part of the existing shelf can be removed and the water unit can sit on the floor beneath. I have a drill/hammer drill/multi tool/sander and various other tools, lots of screws and lots of scrap chipboard/MDF. Need something to cut the wood.

Level and pave 2 patches of carport for hot water tank & home battery

$350

Prospect SA, Australia

26th Oct 2024

I need a couple of 1 square-metre patches of my carport levelled and paved. The first is to be a base for a hot water heater and tank, and the second for a solar battery. The carport is paved currently but not level, and not thick enough pavers to drill the battery base into. Also the patch for the water heater will probably need some concrete to fill in a hole to make it level. I also need advice on the materials to buy for it.

Great work, really helpful advice on materials
