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.

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.

Remove rainwater tanks so wall can be painted
$650
Brunswick VIC, Australia
2nd May 2021
There are 3 large rainwater tanks outside my house. They are attached to the neighbor’s exterior wall. That wall needs to be painted, so the tanks have to be removed in a way that allows us to put them back once the paint job is done. Job includes temporary removal of the tanks and the pipes on the wall as well as putting everything back into place about a week later. Ideally this will be done this Wednesday or Thursday.
