Water tanks provide essential water to homes, businesses, and sometimes entire communities in Australia, so it’s essential that the tank itself remains clean and hygienic especially if bringing potable water to individuals.
Tank cleaning in Sydney and elsewhere helps to keep your water tanks and the water within safe and secure, and there are many excellent reasons why you should (and often must) have your water tank cleaned professionally.
Importance of Regular Tank Cleaning
Your water tank must be kept clean in order to uphold and maintain safety, security, and regulatory compliance. Moreover, tank cleaning helps to identify any faults or damage to the tank and/or its lining or components, enabling repairs to be made at the earliest possible convenience. In doing so, early repairs and maintenance from tank inspections and detection from cleaning services can save stakeholders considerable money on much costlier repairs down the line.
Benefits of Water Tank Cleaning
Going off the importance of tank cleaning, it stands to reason that the benefits are quite obvious. Here are some of the key benefits of water tank cleaning:
- Better water quality: tank cleaning helps to remove any contaminants or sediment that may have entered the tank, thereby improving the quality of the water and its taste (well, making it tasteless as water ought to be!).
- Early detection of damage: the aforementioned contaminants and sediments that may accumulate in your water tank could damage the tank’s components over time due to abrasion, clogs, or erosion of tank lining, for example. Tank cleaning in Sydney helps to identify these potential issues.
- Regulatory compliance: health and safety are paramount seeing as all of us need water to survive and depend on it for everyday activities. For good reason, regulatory compliance is a must for all water tanks and stakeholders responsible for their daily operation.
- Peace of mind: water tank cleaning can provide peace of mind, particularly when performed by a qualified and experienced water tank company in Sydney in accordance with industry best practices and standards.
How We Clean Your Water Tank
Not all water tanks are the same and in fact most vary in shape, size, and even function, e.g. fire water tanks, wastewater tanks, potable water tanks. Consequently, no two inspections or cleaning services are the exact same from one client to another.
All water tanks we inspect and clean take into consideration the specific needs of stakeholders, meaning that our services are tailored for your water tank and are not a one-size-fits-all service.
Our water tank cleaning process begins with a thorough inspection by our technicians, who take into account the condition of the tank and identify any signs of contamination or wear and tear on the tank and its components.
Next, our technicians will drain the tank’s contents whilst causing minimal disruption to your water supply. The tank is then cleaned using high-pressure cleaning equipment which knocks away any built up sediment and debris and restores a clean, uniform surface free of bacteria and contaminants.
The tank is then disinfected with sanitising agents to remove any pathogens or bacteria that may be present. This means that any water stored thereafter in the tank is hygienic and safe to consume (if the tank holds potable water).
Once the tank is cleaned in accordance with AS1851, disinfected, and rinsed, it is refilled with clean water and inspected before being signed off by our technicians.
