Tank Cleaning

It is important to keep your potable water or fire tank clean and free of corrosion. Stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can damage the tank and harm human health.

Tank Liners Melbourne by Raven Tanks Australia offers state-of-the-art commercial tank cleaning services to keep your water storage units contaminant-free and in good working condition.

We understand that every tank cleaning job is different, but our team has the experience and expertise to handle any challenge.

To ensure the best possible performance of your tank, it is important to have it cleaned regularly by qualified professionals.

We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality commercial tank cleaning services.

The Dangers of Neglecting Routine Tank Cleaning

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

For tanks that have not been cleaned for several 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 tank compromising issues commonly develop due to the lack of a professionally designed routine cleaning schedule, including:

Too much contaminant growth: Microbial and chemical buildup can contaminate your drinking water, making it unsafe to drink. This would require the tank to be cleaned and treated, which would also take it offline.
Corrosion is a major threat to water tanks, both to human health and structural integrity. Rust can cause leaks, which can eventually empty the tank and require major repairs.
Legionella is a bacteria that can cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious lung infection. Legionella thrives in iron-rich water, so even a small amount of rust in your tank can support its growth. We are more likely to find Legionella in stagnant water in highly corroded tanks.

Our Tank Cleaning Services

Routine tank cleaning often involves scrubbing 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 may be necessary.

If you notice an unpleasant odor coming from your tank or discoloration in the water when it is released, there is likely a more serious underlying problem that requires immediate cleaning and inspection.

Should I be Worried About the Self-Diagnosis Above?

Although the signs that your tank contains dirty water are likely correct, the most important question is the extent of the damage and how the problem started.

At least some cleaning will be required, as well as draining and refilling the tank after cleaning. 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 of the commercial tank cleaning services we offer:

Potable water panel tank cleaning includes a comprehensive condition report based on the findings or detections that are made during the scaling and scrubbing of the walls, ceilings, and flooring.
Fire water tank cleaning can be done without draining or emptying the tank in most cases. This is because sediment reduction and debris removal can be done while the fire tank system is still in operation.

Tank Cleaning with Divers – We use divers who are qualified to work in confined spaces for cleaning projects where remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) may not be effective.

Cleaning with ROVs

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

Although dive teams and other manned inspections and cleaning tasks can still be very effective, ROVs offer a number of advantages that can benefit our clients in the long run.

The benefits of using an ROV for commercial tank cleaning include:

Cleaning can be done without draining the tank
Zero-risk approach
Zero human error
Robots do not collect or introduce harmful bacteria into the tank, leaving your tank free of organisms
