Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
Water tank cleaning in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh means inspecting the tank, rinsing out sediment and rust, and disinfecting the floor and walls. Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh is a dense residential district in Farwaniya where most buildings are older apartment blocks, and tanks often hold up to twenty thousand litres.
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
Apartment blocks in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh were built in different phases, and older tanks collect limescale deposits and red rust from ageing iron pipes. We access the tank via an internal stairwell or external roof ladder, then rinse it with clean water from the tanker. Flats here sit close together, so we have to cordon off and warn neighbours if we leave the tank open.
Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh is a residential district in Farwaniya governorate with a dense concentration of older and newer apartment blocks.
Most tanks in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh connect to electric pumps that lift water from the municipal line to the roof, so we have to turn them off before rinsing.

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 Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh
Yes, we can clean while you are home. Rinsing takes one to two hours depending on tank size and sediment buildup. We drain the tank fully before people use the water again.
Best practice is every six months if your water turns yellow or smells odd. If the tank is newer and sediment is minimal, you might wait a year. Watch for cloudiness or odour in your tap water as a signal.
