Tank liners play a critical role in preventing internal corrosion, leaks, and chemical damage inside storage tanks. Over time, liners can wear down due to chemical exposure, temperature changes, UV impact, and mechanical stress. When early signs of deterioration appear, timely tank liner repairs are essential to keep the tank safe, compliant, and operational.
At Raven American Tanks, we provide professional repair services that restore liner performance and prevent further structural damage.
If you need a broader understanding of all available lining solutions, you can review our main service overview, where the full range of protective systems is explained.
Even high-quality liners can degrade with frequent use or exposure to aggressive substances. Common issues include:
When left untreated, these issues can result in leaks, contamination, or structural failure of the tank. Repairing the liner early helps avoid costly tank replacements and extends the overall lifespan of the system.
Our repair process is designed to restore full containment and structural integrity:
Technicians inspect the liner to identify defects, weak spots, and surface damage.
The affected section is cleaned and prepared for bonding or welding.
Small tears or cracks are patched using compatible materials engineered to withstand the stored liquid.
Where needed, seams are resealed or rewelded to restore full waterproofing.
If damage is extensive, a full liner replacement may be recommended for safety and reliability.
Every repair is followed by quality checks to ensure leak prevention and long-term durability.

A repair is recommended when any of the following signs appear:
Early intervention prevents corrosion from developing behind the liner and avoids more expensive structural repairs.
Raven American Tanks delivers reliable, cost-effective liner repairs that keep your storage systems safe and functional.
Tank liners degrade over time due to chemical exposure, UV rays, temperature swings, and physical abrasion. These factors can lead to cracks, blisters, or separation from the tank wall, reducing containment reliability.
Warning signs include leaks, unusual odors, discoloration of stored liquids, or visible issues such as bubbling or peeling. Regular inspections help identify problems early before major failures occur.
Many liners—such as PVC, EPDM, and polyurethane—can be patched if the damage is minor. However, liners with widespread wear, delamination, or chemical breakdown often need full replacement to maintain safety and compliance.
Repairs typically include draining the tank, cleaning the liner, identifying problem areas, applying specialised patches, and welding or curing materials to restore strength. Testing ensures the liner is fully watertight.
