Albany & Great Southern
WATER TANK REPAIRS IN ALBANY
Wind, rain and salt air off the Southern Ocean. Tanks down here earn their keep and show it.
Short answer
Do you repair water tanks in Albany?
Yes. Albany is around 420 km south of Perth, roughly a four and a half hour drive, so Great Southern work is planned into batched trips. We fit concrete and steel liners, repair storm damaged roofs and re-band concrete tanks across the region.
Local conditions
What tanks do around Albany
Water and soil in the Great Southern
Albany has a cool, wet, windy climate with reliable winter rain. Many properties around the city and along the coast are not on scheme water, so rainwater tanks are the primary household supply rather than a garden extra.
That changes what matters. Water quality is as important as water quantity here. A roof that lets light, leaves or birds in is a direct problem for drinking water, and it is the repair we are called out for most often in this region.
The wind is the other factor. Southern Ocean weather lifts roof sheets and works fixings loose over the years. Soils range from sandy coastal country to granite and gravelly loams inland, and the salt in the air corrodes fixings, bands and sheeting on any tank within reach of the coast.
Typical tanks in this area
Great Southern tanks we regularly work on: - Household rainwater tanks on properties off scheme water - Steel tanks on sheep, cattle and cropping properties inland - Concrete tanks on older established farms around Mount Barker and Kojonup - Vineyard and small holding tanks around Denmark and the Porongurups - Firefighting supply tanks on bush and forest blocks
Because so much of this water is drunk, we spec potable grade liners as standard here unless you tell us the tank is stock or firefighting only.
Travel and lead time from Perth
Albany is about 420 km from Perth, roughly four and a half hours by road. Like all our regional work, Great Southern jobs are batched so the travel is shared rather than charged in full to a single customer.
If you can wait for the next run, say so when you call and we will put you on it. If it is urgent, for example a household with no other water supply, tell us that too. We treat no water at the house differently from a leaking stock tank.
Travel is always a separate, visible line on the quote.
Other towns we cover on the same run
An Albany trip usually takes in: - Denmark and Walpole - Mount Barker and the Porongurups - Kojonup, Katanning and Cranbrook - Manypeaks and Wellstead - Bremer Bay and the south coast east of Albany
If you are between towns, call and give us the nearest crossroad. We can nearly always work you into a run.
