Water tank cleaning

From dead possums and birds to three feet of muck, Malcolm has seen it all inside a water tank. It’s amazing what can build up over time, so it’s important to get your water tank checked and cleaned regularly to keep you and your family healthy and safe.

Every wondered what the inside of your water tank looks like? Take a deep breath...

Sludge at the bottom of water tanks is most often caused by decomposing leaf material that washes in from your roof and settles at the bottom of your tank.

Unfortunately your home vaccuum cleaner isn't designed to handle this sort of mess! Don't worry, we have the tools and expertise to take care of it.

Most of the sludge has been removed from this water tank. Only dirty water remains at the bottom. Our suction cleaning system will make short work of that.

Once we get the last of the dirty water out of the tank we can give it a thorough disinfectant clean and rinse, ready for a fresh fill of cool, pure water.

What our Customers say

"I used Malcolm to help sort some water tank cleanliness issues at my Westmere lifestyle block in Whanganui and he was awesome. He found a couple of problems we didn't know we had and fixed them for a very reasonable fee. I would thoroughly recommend Water MD for repair and water tank cleaning."

– Mark Daniels, Whanganui

FAQ

Our service as a one-stop-shop, so we can also do every part of the process from start to finish, properly and safely:

Emptying your tank.
The actual cleaning and disinfection of you tank which requires us to get inside the tank, disinfect, scrub and clean it.
Organising the refill of your tank with fresh clean water from a safe source.
Ensuring that your guttering and spouting is clean and ready to receive good water from your roof.

We'll let you know if there's anything else required to ensure you are left with a safe, clean tank.

Yes, the only part of the process that absolutely requires our specialist skills and equipment is cleaning the tank itself.

The other tasks are just as important for maintaining a clean water tank system, but you can do them yourself if you want to:

Cleaning your roof and guttering;
Arranging for a refill of clean water;
Pruning trees that might drop leaves into your water system.

We're happy to do as much or as little work as you require.
