What the service covers - Underground tank cleaning

What the service covers

Every step from emptying the tank to refilling it with disinfected water.

  • Draining and extraction

    Pump out remaining water and loose sediment from the tank floor.

  • Wall and floor scrubbing

    Manual removal of algae, scale and mineral deposits from all surfaces.

  • High-pressure rinse

    Pressure-rinse walls and floor to flush out all loosened residue.

  • Chlorine disinfection

    Apply approved chlorine solution to all internal surfaces and allow contact time.

  • Lid and vent inspection

    Check the access cover and vents to stop contaminants re-entering.

  • Pump and refill check

    Inspect transfer pump and operating pressure before refilling the tank.

Common mistakes with underground tank cleaning

  1. Cleaning without full drain-down

    Residual water dilutes the disinfectant and leaves bacteria alive in the tank.

  2. Leaving the lid unsealed after work

    A cracked or loose cover lets insects and dust re-contaminate the water within days.

  3. Skipping the wall condition check

    Ignoring interior cracks allows groundwater to seep in and recontaminate the supply.

  4. Not checking the pump after cleaning

    Tank sediment damages pump impellers; skipping the check leads to early pump failure.

Before you call: what to check first

  1. Tank location and access hatch

    Locate the underground tank and confirm the access hatch can be opened safely.

  2. Date of last cleaning

    Knowing when the tank was last cleaned helps the technician estimate sediment volume.

  3. Backup water source

    The tank will be offline during work; arrange an alternative water supply beforehand.

  4. Any symptoms you have noticed

    Note any colour change, odd smell or gritty deposits appearing at the taps.

What goes wrong with most plumbing.

Plumbing problems start hidden and end with breaking tiles. These three cost the most.

  1. 01

    Pipes laid in a rush

    Pipework rushed before the walls close stays hidden until it starts to leak.

  2. 02

    Leaks you cannot see

    A slow leak behind tiles shows up as damp, stains and a higher water bill.

  3. 03

    Nobody answers in an emergency

    A burst pipe at night cannot wait for a contractor who has moved on.

The solution?

Pipework, leak detection and maintenance from one licensed company.

What sets the price.

Several site-specific factors shape the quote; a visit lets us assess them accurately.

Get a quote
  1. Tank capacity

    Larger tanks need more time and a greater volume of disinfection solution.

  2. Sediment and scale level

    Heavy mineral scale and sludge increase the effort needed for manual scrubbing.

  3. Site access

    Tanks under narrow walkways or requiring excavation carry an additional access cost.

  4. Interior surface condition

    Cracks or hollow patches may need repair before the tank is returned to service.

  5. Pump condition

    If the transfer pump needs cleaning or a repair, this adds to the overall cost.

Questions, answered.

How often does an underground tank need cleaning in Kuwait?

At least once a year is the standard recommendation. Kuwait's hard, mineral-heavy water accelerates scale build-up, and older or heavily used tanks may need more frequent cleaning.

How is underground tank cleaning different from roof tank cleaning?

Underground tanks are typically larger and at risk of groundwater ingress from outside. Roof tanks are exposed to solar heat. Access to underground tanks is more restricted and usually requires heavier pump equipment.

Can the tank be cleaned without cutting water to the house all day?

The tank must be taken offline during cleaning. The downtime depends on tank size and condition. We recommend storing water before the appointment; the technician works to restore supply as quickly as possible.

Why does algae return quickly after cleaning?

Algae need light to grow. If the access lid is cracked or a vent is not properly sealed, light enters and algae return fast. Fixing the cover and sealing the vents breaks the cycle.

Does underground tank cleaning include checking the pressure pump?

Yes. The transfer pump and operating pressure are checked after refilling the tank. If a pump fault is found during the check, the owner is informed before any further work is carried out.
