Process

How tanks fail

A hot water tank rusts from the inside out. The bottom gives way and gallons of water pour onto the floor, spreading across the basement, damaging anything in its path.

Failures

What RetroSeal catches

A tank never announces its failure. It simply lets go, and the water finds the lowest point.

Slow leaks

The death by a thousand drops

A pinhole rusts through the steel. Water weeps for weeks, soaking into drywall and framing before you ever see a stain.

Sudden ruptures

The bottom drops out without warning

Corrosion eats the tank floor. One day the pressure wins. Gallons hit the floor in minutes.

Valve failures

The weak points break first

Drain valves crack. Relief valves stick open. These small parts fail and feed a steady stream onto the concrete.

Clear the tank footprint

We clear the area and sweep the floor around the tank. The area must be clean and dry for the barrier to seat properly.

Connect The Floor Drain

A connected line runs from the barrier to a drain or sump pit. Gravity does the rest of the work.

RetroSeal isn't just for Hot Water Tanks, it's also for Sump Pits

Your sump pump can also fail, having your sump pit overflow.

RetroSeal contains the water around the pit, and can pipe that directly into the drain, so it doesn't flood your basement.

Diverts the surge before the pit overflows; flooding your basement.

Optional leak detector notifies you when there is water present in your sump pit, so you can be aware and stay ahead of any catastrophe.

Keeps the floor dry even during a catastrophic failure.

Stay ahead of danger, and be notified immediately

Add a Wifi-Enabled Leak Detector

Get peace of mind around the clock. The optional Wifi-enabled leak detector sends an alert straight to your phone the moment water begins forming in the enclosed area — so you know the instant something's wrong, even when you're away from home.

Real-time alerts sent directly to your phone, anytime.

Detects water the moment it starts forming in the sealed area.

Stay ahead of a failure before it becomes a flood.
