Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Salam
Water tank cleaning in Salam starts with an internal inspection using a torch before we begin washing. Salam is a residential area in Hawalli that mixes older flats with modern tower blocks, and its tanks sit either on the roof or in an upper floor utility room. Every tank here needs annual cleaning because dust and sediment build up fast and affect the quality of water flowing to your taps.
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.

What setsthis area apart
Most older blocks in Salam have relatively small tanks in cramped upper-floor rooms that need careful sediment extraction from corners. Newer towers near Salam Co-op have bigger tanks on the roof, slightly easier to access but they get dirtier faster from sun and dust blown up. We wash every wall and floor thoroughly, lift out the invisible grime and microbes, and check ventilation and the cover before it's refilled.
Salam sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential district with a mix of older flats and modern apartment towers.
Salam's tanks need cleaning more often because they sit close to main roads where dust rises easily to the rooftop.

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 Salam
Once a year minimum, or every six months if the tank is on an open roof without a tight cover. We inspect with a torch and tell you if it needs cleaning sooner.
Most towers in Salam have one shared tank per building or two at most, managed by the building company. They usually clean it, but if they skip it or you notice the water smells off, you can request a private cleaning.
