Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Rabiya
Water tank cleaning in Rabiya treats the rooftop tanks that feed drinking and washing water to villas and apartment blocks. Rabiya is a residential district in Farwaniya with mixed house types, and tanks here gather dust and algae because the sun hits them hard. We open the lid, rinse it with clean water, and clear everything from the floor.
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
Rabiya has older single villas alongside mid-rise apartment blocks, each with tanks of different sizes and build. Older villas have tanks with simple covers, newer apartment blocks have better lids but the tank itself sits on the roof with no shade. After a few weeks of intense summer heat, water without proper ventilation develops sediment and mould. We make sure that after rinsing, the tank has no traces of sludge or debris before water reaches any tap in the building.
Rabiya is a residential district in Farwaniya governorate, mixing single-family villas with mid-rise apartment blocks.
Rabiya tanks are more exposed to weather than those in eastern districts because the area is open with few tall buildings to block the sun.

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 Rabiya
If the tank has a good cover and humidity is low, once or twice yearly is usually enough. But if you notice discoloured or foul-smelling water, call straight away and don't wait for a scheduled date.
Cleaning removes dirt and sediment, but the water quality itself depends on the source from the water company. Cleaning is the essential step because a clean tank prevents bacteria from thriving.
