Check for Blockages
Ensure the pipes running to and from your water tank are clear of any debris or obstructions. Blockages can cause unwanted moisture around the base of the tank, which can weaken your home's foundation.
Regular Tank Maintenance
Clean your maintenance hole strainers and burst pipe strainers regularly to avoid build-up that can lead to leaks. Routine maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of your water storage system.
