Tank Cleaning

Fire sprinkler systems are essential for workplace safety, as there are hundreds of fire-related incidents in Australia every year. Fire tank liners must be able to store water for long periods of time without being used, so that they are ready when a fire does occur.

Tank Cleaning

It is important to keep your potable water and fire tanks clean and corrosion-free. Stagnant water can breed bacteria, which can damage the tank and harm human health.

Australian Fire Tanks by Raven Tanks Australia offers state-of-the-art commercial tank cleaning services to keep your water storage units clean and safe. We have experience cleaning all types of tanks, and we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

We recommend that you have your tank cleaned regularly by experts in the field. The quality of your tank’s functionality depends on its entire ecosystem, so it is important to keep it clean.  

The Risks of Neglecting Routine Tank Cleaning

Water tanks need to be cleaned regularly to prevent them from falling apart too soon. Both the inside and outside of the tank, as well as all of the parts, such as access platforms, should be cleaned thoroughly and professionally on a regular basis.

If your tank has not been cleaned in several years, we recommend our sludge removal cleaning services. These services are designed to remove sludge buildup from the tank.

A number of problems can develop due to a lack of a professional routine cleaning schedule, including:

How to quickly clean a dirty water tank?

Start by draining all the water and removing any debris. Scrub the inside walls with a bleach and water solution, then rinse thoroughly. Disinfect the tank with chlorine, let it sit for a few hours, and rinse again before refilling with clean water.

The most effective method includes inspecting the tank, manually scrubbing or pressure washing the surfaces, disinfecting with a chlorine solution, and rinsing well to ensure no chemical residue is left.

Regular cleaning helps remove harmful bacteria, algae, and sediment buildup. It ensures the water remains safe to drink, improves taste and smell, and keeps your water system in good working condition.

Water tanks should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months. However, more frequent cleaning may be needed if the tank is exposed to leaves, dust, or bird droppings, or if the water becomes discolored or smells bad.
