Browse Forums DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair 1 Aug 27, 2019 7:55 am Hi all First time post here. I just bought my first property and it has a water tank there. It has a water leak. My dad and myself managed to drain the remaining water in the tank and put it on its side and found at least 2 leaks. However we probably damaged it further trying to move it around. Does this look like its beyond repair? I believe its as old as the house, around 11 years old and around 7,000 litre capacity. The base was a rough pebble concrete, so my dad will help me grind it down to smooth it out either way.
