For many homes and rural properties across South Australia, water tanks are a vital part of everyday living. Whether used for drinking, irrigation, or household supply, your tank needs to be clean, safe, and properly maintained. Over time, sediment, sludge, and bacteria can accumulate inside your tank, compromising water quality and potentially causing health risks.
That’s why regular water tank cleaning is essential. At Riverland Tank & Drain Cleaners, we offer professional tank cleaning services designed to protect your water supply and extend the life of your tank.
Why Regular Tank Cleaning Matters
Even in sealed tanks, contaminants can build up from:
- Dust and debris entering via rainwater
- Algae and bacterial growth
- Animal droppings or insects entering the tank
- Rust or corrosion from the tank structure
This build-up affects water clarity, smell, and safety. For tanks used for drinking water or home supply, the health implications are even more serious.
Regular cleaning helps:
- Improve water taste and smell
- Remove sludge and sediment from the base
- Prevent blockages in pipes and filters
- Maintain water pressure and flow
- Reduce wear and tear on pumps and appliances
How Often Should You Clean Your Tank?
It’s generally recommended to schedule tank cleaning in Riverland every 2 to 3 years, or more frequently if:
- Your water appears discoloured or smells unusual
- Sediment build-up is visible near outlets
- The tank hasn’t been cleaned in over 3 years
- Your property is surrounded by trees or farmland
If you rely on your tank for drinking water, cleaning it should be a regular part of your household maintenance routine.
