Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Yarmouk
Water tank cleaning in Yarmouk is essential because every drop you drink and wash in passes through the tank, and whatever settles on its floor travels to every tap in the house. Yarmouk is an apartment district near the old bridge, with tanks that vary widely in size and age.
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
Most apartment blocks between Yarmouk and the old bridge were built between the seventies and nineties, and many of their tanks sit uninsulated on the roof without proper ventilation. The sun bakes the tank from outside and moisture seeps in through cracks in the lid, so the water takes on taste and colour after a few months. Some flats have tanks inside the bathroom or corridor, which is worse because humidity and steam go straight into the water. We need to check the lining carefully along the sides and floor.
Yarmouk sits in Kuwait governorate, an apartment district near the Burga area and the old bridge.
Tanks in Yarmouk and Burga flats need cleaning every year and a half or two years because the lids do not protect well against heat and moisture.

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 Yarmouk
Cleaning means we wash the walls and floor of sediment, grease and algae. Replacement means we swap the whole tank if the lining is cracked or the sides are rusted through.
We lift the lid carefully and drain the old water, then scrub the walls and floor with water and brush. Corridors are tight, so we work methodically with covers to keep water off the floor and away from adjacent flats.
