Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Taima
Water tank cleaning in Taima usually starts when you notice an odour or a faint yellow tint in the water. Taima is a residential area on the suburbs of Jahra, with a mix of villas and flats, and their tanks collect sediment from older pipes quickly.
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
Taima has older houses mixed with newer residential blocks, and tanks sit on roofs or in concrete vaults beneath the building. Older villas in the area have larger tanks whose walls have not been cleaned in years, and sediment builds in the corners and floor until a thick brown layer forms. Newer flats near the shopping district have smaller tanks, but the water arriving from the main street carries particles, so we change the filters before we clean.
Taima is a residential area in Jahra governorate, containing a mix of older and newer villas and flats.
Taima tanks located under buildings need deeper cleaning than roof tanks because humidity speeds up sediment accumulation.

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 Taima
No, we cut the water before opening the tank so sediment does not fall into the pipes. After cleaning and rinsing, we let water run for a while before you use it.
If the water is clean and odour-free, once every two years is fine. But if the house is old or the tank has never been cleaned, start with an annual cleaning until the water returns to normal.
