Bolted Tank Seam and Joint Sealing in the Northeast

The appropriate sealant depends on the tank material, leak location, stored water, substrate condition, corrosion level, and whether the repair must support a future lining system. AmTech may use PLS 755 Tank Tape for gaps, seams, joints, penetrations, or temporary low-pressure leak control, while concrete tanks may require crystalline waterproofing. A site assessment helps identify a compatible, durable approach.

Many leaking water tanks can be repaired when inspection confirms that the tank remains suitable for restoration. AmTech evaluates corrosion, pitting, weld seams, nozzles, joints, lining failure, and structural integrity. Repairs may include steel replacement, welding, surface preparation, sealing, or application of a compatible lining. The recommended solution depends on the tank’s construction and service conditions.

The assessment considers visible leakage, corrosion, coating or lining failure, gaps, substrate condition, nearby penetrations, and the tank’s stored contents. AmTech’s field engineering team reviews site-specific conditions before selecting preparation and sealing methods. Where appropriate, the surrounding surface is cleaned and profiled so the repair or lining can bond properly.

PLS 755 Tank Tape can provide permanent or semi-permanent bonding depending on the application. It is used to bridge gaps, smooth irregular transitions, and prepare seams, joints, nozzle openings, and penetrations for compatible lining systems. It can also serve as a temporary sealing wrap for leaks in low-pressure piping and tank fittings until a permanent repair is scheduled.

AmTech first reviews the tank’s condition, material, service environment, existing coating or lining, and the location of the seam or joint issue. Crews may remove rust, old coatings, contaminants, and other compromised material through abrasive blasting, water blasting, or mechanical preparation. Surface conditions are then evaluated before the selected sealing or lining system is applied.

Yes. AmTech uses crystalline waterproofing products including Port Seal and Xypex for concrete cracks, cold joints, construction joints, pipe penetrations, and areas of water infiltration. The concrete is inspected, repaired where needed, cleaned, and saturated before application. The systems react within the concrete matrix to help seal pores, capillaries, and eligible micro-cracks.

AmTech provides lining and repair services for tanks handling corrosive, acidic, and alkaline liquids. The team evaluates the stored substance, concentration, operating temperature, fill and draw cycles, and previous lining performance before specifying a compatible system. Repairs may include structural work, abrasive preparation, seam treatment, and chemical-resistant lining application.

AmTech has field crews covering all 50 US states, Canada, and the Caribbean. Abrasive blasting services are specifically identified as available across the Northeast USA, including New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Project availability is evaluated based on the tank and facility requirements.
