Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Uyoun
Water tank cleaning in Uyoun starts when you notice the water changing colour or smelling off, or when nobody has emptied and scrubbed the tank in years. Uyoun is a residential area in Jahra, where tanks sit in direct sun all day and collect dust and debris from the air.
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 villas and apartment blocks in Uyoun have tanks on the roof or in the yard, many of them older builds without good thermal insulation. When we arrive we open the tank hatch from above, then lower a person with a torch to see the bottom, because the tank is large and completely dark inside. Sediment and silt build up fast in Uyoun tanks because the water is hard and mineral-rich, so we rinse the tank several times to make sure nothing travels down to your taps.
Uyoun sits in Jahra governorate, a residential area where most homes rely on rooftop or ground-level tanks for fresh water.
Uyoun tanks usually need cleaning every year or two because hard water leaves thick sediment on the floor and sides.

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 Uyoun
It depends on tank size and how much sediment has built up, but most Uyoun tanks take two to three hours. We refill with fresh water and run it under pressure at the end to flush the lines through.
Those deposits come from the hard water in Uyoun mineral salts like calcium and magnesium settle on the walls and floor over time. Once we clean the tank properly and the water runs clear, new deposits form much more slowly.
