AN OVERFLOWING TANK MEANS A CEILING AT RISK
If water is running constantly from an external overflow pipe, the cold water tank or cistern in your loft is failing to shut off — and somewhere upstream, water is filling the tank faster than it can leave through the overflow. Eventually the tank either splits, the overflow blocks, or both — and the next thing to give is the ceiling below.
Loft tank failures, ballcock seizures and cistern leaks are some of the most preventable water damage emergencies in Perth. EcoGas stops the inflow, drains safely, repairs the fault and tests the system before leaving — usually all within a single visit.

ECOGAS'S WATER TANK REPAIR SERVICE
BALLCOCK & VALVE FIXES
The most common loft tank failure is a stuck or perished ballcock — the float arm that shuts off the inlet valve when the tank reaches the right level. Replacement is a 30-minute job with the right part on the van.
TANK REPLACEMENT
For cracked tanks, perished base seals, or tanks past replacement age, we install a new properly-insulated polypropylene tank with all associated pipework and overflow connections.
WHAT PERTH SAYS AFTER A WATER TANK FIX
Rebecca W. — Perth
Came home from work and the front of the house was wet from the overflow pipe running constantly. EcoGas sent someone the same evening, found the ballcock had perished, replaced it, tested everything before leaving. Reasonable price for an after-hours job.
Stephen B. — Perth
Old galvanised loft tank had finally split — water everywhere in the loft. EcoGas drained it safely, removed it, installed a new polypropylene tank with proper insulation, all in a single afternoon. Highly recommend.
Maria L. — Perth
Toilet cistern never stopped filling, water bill creeping up. EcoGas diagnosed a worn inlet valve, replaced it in 20 minutes, problem gone. Cheaper than the water bill would have been over the year.
Joe T. — Perth
Loft tank overflow was actually blocked, causing the tank to overflow into the loft instead of outside. EcoGas cleared the overflow, fitted a new ballcock for good measure, and re-routed the overflow pipe properly. Top job.
