PVC Tank Liners: Essential Solutions for Water Storage

The Importance of PVC Tank Liners
PVC is one of the most widely utilized waterproofing materials in the world, and there’s good reason for it! It offers excellent water and corrosion resistance. The material is also highly resistant to scratches, tears, and abrasion.
PVC liners adhere well to steel, concrete, wood, and poly surfaces. Their global use across similar applications highlights their diversity and reliability.

How Essential is a PVC Lining for Water Tanks?
PVC lining clearly extends the lifespan of water tanks compared to unlined systems. Raven American Tanks has seen the serious consequences of premature tank failures. They often happen because the tank lacks a liner or uses one far beyond its service life. PVC membranes add a protective layer to tanks and pits, guarding against corrosion and erosion.
Pit and dam walls can quickly fail when liners are missing or poorly maintained. Large sheets that line dams reinforce the walls for enhanced containment strength and to stop soil from eroding and collapsing the dam. A high-quality PVC liner is a smart investment, costing far less long-term than full tank replacement.
