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
Older Sharq apartment buildings have one tank on the roof, but modern blocks near the marina and Sharq market have multiple tanks, each with its own lid and pump motor. High-rise tanks serving luxury flats need more care because water sits longer and sediment builds faster. We inspect each lid, open the access port, check the floor deposits, and confirm there are no cracks in the internal walls since any leak means contaminated water.
Sharq sits in Kuwait governorate, a high-density urban area with tall apartment blocks and rooftop tanks.
High-rise tanks in Sharq require regular inspection because water sits longer before use.

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 Sharq
It depends on how many storeys and units are in the building. A 12 storey block might have two or three tanks, each serving a group of flats. Sometimes there is a separate fire tank as well.
We do not work on a cracked tank. Cracks mean water can seep in and out, so cleaning alone will not fix the problem. The tank must be repaired or replaced before we clean it.
