Attic Water Tank Replacement

Replace your attic water storage tank from €800 quickly and easily with the minimum of fuss.

NRM Heating and Plumbing are SEAI & RGI approved Dublin plumbers with many years of experience, and experience tells us that one thing most homes neglect is the attic water storage tank. It may be hidden away from sight and you might think that nothing needs doing about it, but an attic water tank replacement is needed more often than you might expect.

There are many reasons that cold water storage tank replacement is recommended. One of the most common reasons is down to the age of the existing tank – older tanks were made of galvanized metal that can become susceptible to corrosion and rust. Once the integrity of the tank is in question, it is only a matter of time before it splits and bursts.

As the tank can store hundreds of litres of water and is often at the very top of the house, the potential for flooding is very real. You might think that your insurance company will cover the costs and it will only be a minor inconvenience, but nothing could be further from the truth. Many insurance companies will not cover claims of flooding caused by old water storage tanks as they should be considered part of the general upkeep of the home.

Replacing your cold water tank protects you from the damage that such problems can cause, and from other problems too. If any tap is connected to the water storage tank and is used to provide drinking water, the water could be contaminated due to the container it has been in. Rust and metal dropping into the storage area can cause harm, and poorly fitting lids leave the water storage exposed to dust and insects. Worse still, rodents may be able to enter the tank, and a water supply that is polluted by rodent feces is no good to anyone.
