You can DIY pretty much everything these days – from replacing your cabinets to removing your lawn, from fixing your plumbing system to building some mouldings for your house. But where does this DIY trend stop? Is there a limit to doing these special projects on your own? How about that concrete water tank in your backyard?

The Internet will tell you that you have to clean concrete tanks every 3-5 years. The internet will also tell you that cleaning concrete tanks on your own is possible. You will just need a pressure washer, pressure washer detergent, bleach, and, if necessary, a hose and a wrench set. These are easy to acquire and the steps to cleaning the tank sound doable enough. The question now is – should you do them on your own?

Where DIY Stops

DIY is good for planting a container garden or repapering a wall. But when the steps include your entire household’s potable water, harmful bacteria and bleach, you might consider letting go of this DIY project and letting a professional team do this one for you. Having experts drain the bleach water out of your only source of drinking water is a sound idea, don’t you think?
