Water Tank Cleaning: Protecting Your Water Supply and Health

Water tanks, particularly cold water storage tanks, are prevalent in various settings, including houses, offices, schools, hospitals, factories, leisure centres, and more. They store significant amounts of water used for various purposes, from wash hand basins, showers, and hot water services.

The importance of water tank cleaning cannot be overstated, as over time, tanks can become contaminated with dust, dirt, debris, and harmful bacteria, such as Legionella. This potentially lethal bacteria thrives in water tanks within specific temperature ranges, and if left unaddressed, it can lead to an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease, posing significant health risks.

Our water tank cleaning process involves a thorough risk assessment to devise a comprehensive plan tailored to the tank's size, type, and complexity. We begin by draining and clearing the existing water, followed by the use of state-of-the-art disinfection methods and chemicals, such as Stabilized Silver Hydrogen Peroxide, to ensure the highest levels of hygiene.

Maintaining the correct pH level is crucial for disinfection and to prevent Legionella growth. We ensure minimal disruption during the cleaning process, working efficiently to keep your premises safe and hygienic. After completion, we provide the necessary documentation as proof and maintenance records.

Regular water tank inspections are necessary to determine when cleaning is required. Certain circumstances, such as new installations, alterations, routine inspections, and evidence of contamination, warrant immediate cleaning. Adhering to L8 guidelines and regulatory requirements is essential, and our team is well-equipped to keep your water systems compliant.
