Which tank do you need cleaned?
The tank is the last stop before the tap. Many homes and buildings have two: a large ground tank that takes the supply from the mains, and a rooftop tank above the building that feeds all the outlets. Both collect sediment, fine dust, and sometimes algae or insects over time, particularly in the climate where a cold winter and an intense summer alternate and dust is carried by the wind year-round.
Tanks are built from different materials. Concrete develops small cracks and holds dirt in its surface. Plastic and fibreglass develop a green or slimy film when exposed to sunlight or summer heat. Metal corrodes when left unchecked. The signs that cleaning is overdue include a change in the taste, smell or colour of the water, sediment appearing in filters or at the tap, a home reopened after standing closed, a broken or loose lid letting dust in, or recent building or plumbing work nearby.
The job generally covers emptying the tank, removing sediment from the floor and walls, scrubbing the surfaces and rinsing until the outgoing water runs clear. Read about each type in the list below, or call us and tell us your district and the type of tank you have, and we will agree a suitable time with you.
Choose the tank that applies to you from the list below; each type has its own access conditions and preparation requirements.
- Ground-tank cleaningThe ground tank fills from the supply and pumps up to the rooftop tank; sediment settles on its floor out of sight.
- Rooftop-tank cleaningThe rooftop tank is open to sun, dust and wind, and its lid is the first thing to check when the water smells or tastes different.
- Water-tank paintingWhen the tank wall is cracked or its inner coating has worn away, painting follows the cleaning to protect the surface.
- Fuel-tank cleaningA fuel tank has entirely different cleaning requirements from a water tank and is a separate service on its own.

Questions about Water tank cleaning
There is sediment at my tap; is the tank the cause?
In most cases yes. Fine sediment gathers on the floor of the ground tank or the rooftop tank over time and is carried with the water to taps and filters. Cracked concrete or dust entering through a loose lid is often the source. Scrubbing the walls and floor of the tank removes this build-up.
My water smell has changed; do I need tank washing or something else?
A change in smell calls for checking the tank first. A film or accumulated dirt on the walls and floor is a common source, and tank washing clears it. If water tank disinfection is also needed, that is a separate service you can agree on when you call.
How do I know which of my two tanks needs cleaning?
The ground tank tends to collect more sediment because it takes the supply directly from the mains. The rooftop tank is more affected by sun, dust and birds and can develop a slimy film. If you notice a smell or sediment but are not sure which tank is the cause, tell us what you notice and we agree what is needed.
What is the difference between water-tank cleaning and tank cleaning and insulation?
Water-tank cleaning means removing sediment, dust and dirt from inside the tank. Tank cleaning and insulation means cleaning is combined with applying an insulating layer to the tank wall or lid to reduce heat transfer or stop a leak. When you call, tell us what you need and the condition of your tank, and we agree the right service.
Is drinking-water tank cleaning different from ordinary tank cleaning?
The difference lies in the care given to the inner storage surfaces and the thorough removal of any algae film, because this water is used for drinking and cooking. The general steps of emptying, scrubbing and rinsing are the same, and the details are agreed with you when you call.
Does villa tank hygiene service differ from an apartment building?
In villas there are usually two separate tanks with clear access, and the owner can typically coordinate on their own. In apartment towers and shared buildings the tank may be shared or in a location that requires coordination with building management. In both cases, tell us the type of building and your district and we arrange it.
Does villa tank cleaning include painting the tank inside?
Cleaning and painting are two separate services. Cleaning removes sediment and dirt. If the tank wall is worn or cracked, water-tank painting follows the cleaning to protect the surface. You can request both when you call and we agree what you need.
How often should the water tank be cleaned?
It depends on the tank type, the water quality, and conditions around it. Tell us about your tank when you call, and we can help you plan when the next clean should be.
Does an underground tank need cleaning differently from a roof tank?
Yes, an underground tank may be harder to reach and needs different arrangements. Tell us where it is and what space is available around it, and we agree how the work will be done.
