Planning the Shut-Off
We agree the timing with you so the supply from the tank is off when it causes least disruption.
Rooftop Water Tank Cleaning in Dubai
Cleaning and disinfection of rooftop water tanks for villas and buildings
In Brief
Rooftop water tank cleaning drains the tank, pumps out the sludge, scrubs the walls, floor and lid, disinfects the inside, rinses it and refills it. We also check the lid, overflow and inlet so dust and insects cannot get back in, and report any cracks or corroded fittings.
A rooftop tank sits in the sun and the dust. Sand blows in through gaps, sediment settles on the floor, and warm water encourages biofilm to grow on the walls. Because the tank feeds the taps in the property, what builds up in it matters, and it is easy to forget because nobody sees inside.
We agree the timing with you first so the supply is off when it suits you, drain the tank and pump out the sludge rather than flushing it down the drains, then scrub every surface, disinfect and rinse before refilling. We check the lid, overflow and inlet and tell you about any damage. For waterproofing problems on the roof see waterproofing. The full service is on our water tank cleaning page.
When You Need This
Signs You May Need Rooftop Water Tank Cleaning
- Sand or particles in the water from the taps

What We Do
What Rooftop Water Tank Cleaning Covers
Draining and Sludge Removal
The tank is drained and sludge is pumped out and removed, not flushed into the drains.
Scrubbing
The walls, floor and lid are scrubbed so every surface is cleaned, not just rinsed.
Disinfection
The inside of the tank is disinfected and then rinsed before it is refilled.
Lid, Overflow and Inlet Check
The lid, overflow, inlet and float valve are checked so the tank stays clean afterwards.
Condition Report
We report any cracks, leaks or corroded fittings we find.

Good to Know
What Affects Time and Cost
Every property is different, so we confirm the price before any work starts. These are the things that most often change the time and cost.
- The size and number of tanks
- How much sediment and sludge has built up
- How easy the tank is to reach and enter
- Whether the lid, float valve or overflow needs repair
- Whether the work is for a villa or a building
