Water Tank Installation & Repairs

Professional water storage solutions: tank selection, mounting, plumbing, and ongoing maintenance.

Overview

Clean, reliable water storage is essential for every Kenyan home and business. Intermittent municipal supply means that a well‑installed water tank isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Dalo Plumbing Solutions has installed and repaired thousands of water tanks across Nairobi, from small 500‑litre domestic tanks in Kayole to 24,000‑litre commercial systems in industrial areas. We provide a one‑stop service: helping you choose the right tank, constructing a solid base, connecting inlet and outlet plumbing, and integrating with pumps and filtration. Our team works with all common tank types: vertical and horizontal plastic tanks, slimline tanks for tight spaces, and pressed steel tanks for high‑volume storage. We source UV‑stabilised, food‑grade tanks from trusted suppliers and ensure all fittings are corrosion‑resistant. Beyond new installations, we relocate existing tanks to better serve a new extension, repair leaking tanks with specialist welding or sealing compounds, and replace worn‑out float valves and overflow pipes. A key part of our service is designing the tank’s plumbing to work seamlessly with your home’s water system. We install automatic float switches that control the borehole or booster pump, preventing dry runs and overflows. We also connect tanks to roof catchment gutters and downpipes for rainwater harvesting, incorporating first‑flush diverters and leaf screens to keep the water clean. For areas with low mains pressure, we set up pump‑assisted filling systems that ensure the tank always has water. We don’t just drop a tank on a few bricks; we construct reinforced concrete plinths or steel stands engineered to bear the tank’s full weight safely. Our installations comply with Nairobi City County building regulations, and we advise on the best location – considering accessibility, sun exposure, and proximity to the house. After installation, we thoroughly test the system and give you a user manual for maintenance. With Dalo Plumbing, your water tank investment is protected. We offer a warranty on our workmanship and are available for annual cleaning and disinfection services to keep your stored water safe. From the initial survey to the final commissioning, we deliver a stress‑free experience.
