Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Hateen
Water tank cleaning in Hateen means opening the lid and removing sediment and mould from the floor and walls. Hateen is a mixed residential area in Hawalli with older and newer flats and villas side by side, and most tanks here sit on roofs or ground-level basements, so water flow slows when layers build up.
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
Hateen has a high proportion of flats in older apartment blocks, and the tank in most of them sits on the main roof or an intermediate level above the units. Older blocks have smaller tanks and walls that need more care, and sometimes the small access windows make entry difficult, so we use special tools to clean from inside. Newer villas in the area have larger tanks and easier access, but both need regular inspection so the water stays clean.
Hateen sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential area with a mix of apartment blocks and villas at different building levels.
Flat tanks in Hateen generally need cleaning more often than villa tanks because water moves slower through the narrow vertical pipes.

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 Hateen
Once a year minimum, but if your water comes out cloudy or smells, call us before the scheduled date. Older Hateen flats may need twice yearly when the tank is small.
The pipes themselves might have deposits, or the filter at the tank inlet may be clogged. We inspect inside the tank and tell you if you need pipe flushing or a filter check.
