Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Watiya
Water tank cleaning in Watiya starts with an internal inspection before we begin the wash. Watiya is an older district near the old city walls, with a mixed housing stock of villas and small apartment blocks, and the tanks here accumulate heavy sediment.
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
Watiya contains villas from the 1960s and 70s alongside medium-rise apartments, and most tanks sit on the roof or in an open courtyard close to ground level. A tank that takes the longest to clean is one with thick rust scaling on the inner walls or oil residue on the floor from old pipework. The water that runs from the tap once we finish makes it clear whether the tank really needed a deep clean.
Watiya is in Kuwait governorate, an older district near the old city walls, with a mix of apartment buildings and villas.
Watiya tanks are generally older than those in newer areas, and their sediment needs manual scrubbing alongside water flushing.

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 Watiya
Washing means flushing water through the valve with force, but cleaning means entering the tank and scrubbing sediment and rust off by hand with water. Most Watiya tanks need full cleaning, not just a rinse.
Yes, we drain the tank completely before starting, and remove all old water because sediment comes out with it. After cleaning we refill with fresh water and work on removing any odd smell or discoloration.
