Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Hawalli
Water tank cleaning in Hawalli starts with an external inspection, then we ask you to cut the supply briefly before we enter. Hawalli is a mixed area with older and newer flats and villas, tanks sitting on building roofs or below-ground, each needing regular cleaning.
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
Hawalli has many residential blocks of varying heights, older flats with roof tanks on copper or aged iron pipes, newer towers with horizontal tanks in the basement or ground floor. A roof tank gets more sun exposure so sediment builds faster, while a below-ground tank can harbor insects and algae if water sits still. We inspect the tank floor with a torch and probe before we tell you how many cleaning cycles it needs.
Hawalli sits in Hawalli governorate, a mixed residential district with apartment blocks, villas and commercial strips.
Hawalli roof tanks usually sit between 5 to 8 metres above the flat level, while below-ground tanks are typically deeper than their overhead counterparts.

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 Hawalli
If the water looks cloudy or smells odd, or if pressure is dropping, the tank needs it. We come and inspect, then tell you exactly what we find.
Each type is different. Below-ground we open the cover carefully because gas can collect there, on the roof we scrape sediment from a distance. The end cleanliness level is the same.
