Tank Cleaning

Cleaning and maintaining potable water and fire tanks is essential. Stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can damage the tank and harm human health.

Tank Inspections Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia offers state-of-the-art commercial tank cleaning services to keep your water storage units clean, safe, and in good condition. We have the experience and expertise to clean any type of tank, no matter how challenging.

Regular tank cleaning is essential to ensure that your tank is functioning properly. Our team of experts will work with you to develop a customized cleaning schedule that meets your specific needs.

We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible commercial tank cleaning services. We understand that each tank is different, and we approach each cleaning challenge with a fresh perspective.

The Risks of Skipping Regular Tank Cleaning

Water tanks and storage systems need to be cleaned regularly to prevent the premature deterioration of their surfaces and components. The internal and external areas, as well as the components and other equipment such as access platforms, must be thoroughly and professionally cleaned on a regular basis.

For tanks that have not been cleaned for many years, we highly recommend our sludge removal cleaning services, which are designed to remove sludge buildup from the floor, pump, and other components.

A number of problems that can compromise the tank often develop due to the lack of a professionally developed routine cleaning schedule, including:

Excessive contaminant growth can contaminate your potable water and make it unsafe to drink. This can require costly cleaning and treatment services, and may even force the tank to be taken offline.
Corrosion is a major threat to water tanks. It can damage the tank's structure and integrity, leading to leaks and other safety hazards.
Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious respiratory illness. Legionella thrives in warm, stagnant water, such as the water found in water tanks. Rust, which is made of iron, can provide food for Legionella, so it is important to keep water tanks clean and free of rust.

Our Tank Cleaning Services

For routine tank cleaning, it is often sufficient to scrub the walls, floors, and other components of the tank. However, depending on the age, condition, and maintenance history of your tank, more extensive scrubbing, washing, and sterilization methods may be required.

If you notice an unpleasant odor coming from your tank or discoloration in the water when it is released, this is likely a sign of a more serious underlying problem. This problem may require immediate cleaning and inspection.

Should I be Concerned About the Above Self-Diagnosis?

While it is likely that your tank contains dirty water, the severity of the problem and how it started are the most important questions to ask.

At the very least, some basic cleaning procedures will be required, followed by draining and refilling the tank. Once we have identified any major complications, we will be able to provide you with a more realistic quote and schedule for the job.

Here are some specific commercial tank sanitation solutions that we offer:

Potable water panel tank cleaning and comprehensive condition reporting based on findings or detections after scaling and scrubbing the walls, ceilings, and floors.
Fire water tank cleaning can be performed to reduce sediment and remove debris without draining or emptying the tank in most cases.

Cleaning with ROVs

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have revolutionized commercial water tank cleaning and maintenance. They can be used to clean and inspect tanks of all sizes and types, from small drinking water units to large fire suppression systems.

ROVs offer a number of advantages over traditional methods, including:

The tank's contents do not need to be drained before cleaning.
An approach that aims to eliminate all risk.
A flawless execution of tasks by humans.
Robotic tank cleaning does not introduce or increase the amount of harmful bacteria in the tank. This ensures that your tank remains clean and safe for use.
Cleaning can be done for hours without interruption.
We record every action taken by the robot, which allows us to provide more detailed diagnostics and reports.
Access and task permissions are severely restricted.
