Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for an estimate / to come out?
Estimates are completely free — our technician comes out, looks at your tank, and gives you the exact price before any work is done.
How much to clean a water tank?
It depends on the size of the tank and how much buildup there is, so the technician gives you the exact price on site before any work — and the estimate is free.
How often should a water tank be cleaned?
Many drinking-water tanks are cleaned and sanitized about once a year, but it depends on your tank and water — the technician can recommend the right schedule.
My water is dirty, cloudy, or tastes bad
Thanks for telling me — please hold off drinking it until the tank's cleaned, and we'll get someone out to clean, disinfect, and take care of it.
There's sediment or sludge in the bottom
No problem — our crew removes the sediment and sludge, scrubs it out, and disinfects the tank so your water's clean again.
There's algae or green slime in my tank
We take care of that all the time — the crew cleans it out and disinfects the tank, and can talk with you about keeping it from coming back.
Can I just clean it myself / climb in?
Please don't climb inside — even an open tank can have low oxygen and it's genuinely dangerous. Our trained crew is set up to do it safely.
Do you do disinfection / sanitizing?
Yes, we disinfect and sanitize tanks with the proper method and contact time, and can test the water afterward.
Do you clean cisterns / underground tanks?
Yes, we clean cisterns and underground tanks as well as above-ground ones — the technician can take a look and give a free estimate.
Do you do commercial or industrial tanks?
Yes, we handle commercial and industrial tanks with the right crew and equipment — we can come out and give you a free estimate.
Do you repair or seal a leaking tank?
Yes, we seal leaks and make repairs — the technician will inspect it and let you know the options with an exact price up front.
Can you set up regular / recurring cleaning?
Absolutely — we can set up a recurring maintenance schedule so your tank stays clean, and go over the details with you.
What's your warranty / guarantee?
We stand behind our work — the technician will go over exactly what's guaranteed while he's there.
Do you service my area?
We're local and cover your area — I'll just grab your address and get a technician headed your way.
⚠️ Safety first
- Caller is about to, or wants to, climb inside the tank: Please don't go inside the tank — even an open one can have low oxygen or trapped gases and it's genuinely dangerous. Our trained crew is set up to do that safely, so leave it to us.
- Drinking water looks or smells contaminated, or a test failed: Until it's cleaned and cleared, please don't drink or cook with that water — use bottled to be safe. We'll get a crew out to clean and disinfect it.
- Someone felt dizzy, faint, or overcome near or inside a tank: Please get them out into fresh air right away, and if they don't recover quickly call 911 — tank gases are serious. Don't let anyone else go near it, and we'll handle the tank.
- Possible sewage or chemical cross-contamination of the water: Please stop using that water entirely for now and keep people and pets away from it. We'll get someone out to inspect, clean, and disinfect it as soon as we can.
