Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Dasma
Water tank cleaning in Dasma is straightforward because most tanks are older and close to the city centre, and sediment builds up faster. Dasma is a densely populated older residential area with apartment blocks, and tanks need regular servicing.
Tank symptoms
When a tank needscleaning.
A tank does not complain out loud. It complains through the water leaving it.
01
The taste or smell changed
If the taste or the smell changes at every tap at once, the source is shared, and the first place to look is the tank rather than a tap or the filter fitted to it.
02
Grit in the tap aerator
Unscrew a tap aerator and find fine grit in it, and sediment is moving off the tank floor. It lifts whenever the level drops and the draw on the tank gets stronger.
03
The lid is broken or missing
An open or broken lid lets Kuwaiti dust straight into the tank, and daylight in with it. Between them they spoil the water inside a tank that is otherwise perfectly sound.
04
Green on the inside wall
Green growth needs light. Seeing it inside a tank means light is getting in through a translucent lid, a crack or an open vent, and cleaning alone will not stop it returning.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Most Dasma apartment blocks were built in the seventies and eighties, and their tanks have no thermal insulation, so water discolours easily. Most of these older blocks have one small tank on the roof, and the inlet pipe may be narrow, so drainage runs slow. We open the cover, remove silt and debris from the floor, and rinse the walls but never use harsh chemicals.
Dasma sits in Kuwait governorate, a densely built older residential area with apartment blocks near the city centre.
Old Dasma tanks often lack a properly fixed cover, so dust and insects enter more easily than in modern tanks.

How it is done
From empty backto full.
A tank is cleaned empty. It cannot be cleaned with water in it.
We close the inlet and drain
The filling line is closed and the tank is drained through its drain valve or with a small pump, until only the layer on the floor is left.
We lift the sediment out
The layer on the floor is lifted out whole rather than stirred, because stirring it with water spreads it back across the walls and into the outlet.
We wipe walls and roof
The inner walls and the underside of the roof are wiped, because the film that clings above the water line is what comes back down with the first refill.
We rinse and check the lid
A final rinse leaves through the drain valve, then the lid, the openings and the float are checked, and we tell you if anything needs changing before it fills.
Common questions
Questions about Water tank cleaning in Dasma
An uncleaned tank collects sediment and bacteria that can get into your drinking water. Regular cleaning prevents this and keeps you sure the water is safe.
Smell means bacteria or algae has grown on the floor. We clean the tank thoroughly and dry all surfaces, and the odour goes away.
